This accessible and entertaining guide introduces Sigmund Freud's life and ideas, from dream analysis to the superego.
Sigmund Freud's theories on the unconscious revolutionised the way we approach human behaviour. This essential introduction explores his theories and the implications they had for understanding an array of psychological issues, including trauma, repressed memory, childhood development and more.
It also explores Freud's life as a scientist - the conflicts and controversies he faced when proposing his new ideas to his contemporaries - and the ways in which his theories have influenced psychology today.
Sections include:
• Freud's early life
• Psychoanalysis
• Free association
• The unconscious
• Interpreting dreams
• The Oedipus complex
• Case histories
• Modern evaluations of Freud
Images and diagrams are included, as well as bullet pointed summaries at the end of each chapter to pick out key concepts.
Perfect for students on anyone wanting to get to grip with Freud's ideas, this book is the perfect introduction to the great psychoanalyst and his ground-breaking concepts.
