The Essentials of Psycho-Analysis

The Essentials of Psycho-analysis is the definitive collection of Sigmund Freud's writing. It covers the themes that Freud explored in his work from the meaning of dreams and the concept of the unconscious, instinctual and sexual life to the structure of the personality. Beautifully written and endlessly fascinating, the pieces collected here are the perfect guide to the principle concepts of psycho-analysis.

Reviews

He was possessed of exceptional literary gifts. There can be no question that he was a great writer: to read him is to be beguiled by him... his influence on all of us was enormous, and it would be as impossible to return to a pre-Freudian way of thinking as to return to a pre-heliocentric theory of the solar system

—— The Times

The great founder of psychoanalysis

—— The Times

His works are essential reading for those who seek to understand the human condition.

—— Chief Rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks

A poignant testimony...a hymn to the phoenix rising in each of us who choose life before flight.

—— Brian Keenan, author of An Evil Cradling

One of the most remarkable books I have ever read. It changed my life

—— Susan Jeffers, author of Feel the Fear And Do It Anyway and Embracing Uncertainty

Influential and eloquent.

—— Jewish Chronicle

Perhaps the most significant thinking since Freud and Adler.

—— The American Journal of Psychiatry

Remarkable...It changed my life and became a part of all that I live and all that I teach.

—— Susan Jeffers, author of Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway and Embracing Uncertainty

a great book...if you need to be reminded that there is value to be discovered in experiences when they seem nothing but pointless and painful, and choices to be made when you think you have none, I'd recommend it

—— Lauren Laverne

One wishes this book could get into the hands of all the suffering children who need it

—— Washington Post

This story of unfathomable child abuse is told with remarkable wit, compassion, and courage

—— Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with Scissors

Highly articulate … Her memories are real, not recovered

—— The Times
