Books by Sigmund Freud

Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics Series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon, this collectible, hard-back edition of The Interpretation of Dreams provides an accessible and insightful edition of this important work of psychologySigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams introduced his ground-breaking theory of the unconscious and explored how interpreting dreams can reveal the true nature of humanity. Regarded as Freud's most significant work, this classic text helped establish the discipline of psychology and is the foundational work in the field of psychoanalysis. Highly readable and engaging, the book both provides a semi-autobiographical look into Freud's personal life - his holidays in the Alps, spending time with his children, interacting with friends and colleagues - and delves into descriptions and analyses of the dreams themselves.Freud begins with a review of literature on dreams written by a broad range of ancient and contemporary figures - concluding that science has learned little of the nature of dreams in the past several thousand years. Although the prevailing view was that dreams were merely responses to 'sensory excitation,' Freud felt that the multifaceted dimensions of dreams could not be attributed solely to physical causes. By the time Freud began writing the book he had interpreted over a thousand dreams of people with psychoses and recognised the connection between the content of dreams and a person's mental health. Among his conclusions were that a person's dreams:* Prefer using recent impressions, yet also have access to early childhood memories* Unify different people, places, events and sensations into one story* Usually focus on small or unnoticed things rather than major events* Are almost always 'wish fulfilments' which are about the self* Have many layers of meaning which are often condensed into a single imageThe Interpretation of Dreams: The Psychology Classic is as riveting today as it was over a century ago. Anyone with interest in the workings of the unconscious mind will find this book an invaluable source of original insights and foundational scientific concepts. This edition includes an insightful Introduction by Sarah Tomley, a psychology writer and practicing psychotherapist. Tomley considers paints a picture of Freud's life and times, reveals the place of The Interpretation of Dreams in the context of Freud's other writings, and draws out the key points of the work.

Bogen indeholder Freuds overvejelser over forskellige civilisationers forhold til både tradition, totem og tabu. Dette indebærer blandt andet forholdet til blodskam og forskellige samfunds kulturopbygning. Hertil drager Freud paralleler fra de forskellige samfund og neurotikerens sjæleliv.Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) var en verdensberømt østrigsk nervelæge og forfader til psykoanalysen. Han åbnede i 1886 sin private praksis som nervelæge og giftede sig samme år med Martha Barnays (1861-1951). Han har skrevet adskillige værker om psykologi, og er kendt for sine arbejde inden for dette fag; arbejde, der blandt andet omfatter ødipuskomplekset, den infantiles seksualitet og psykoser og neuroser. I 1938 drog Freud sammen med sin familie til England, hvor han levede sit sidste år.

An extraordinary collection of thematically linked essays, including THE UNCANNY, SCREEN MEMORIES and FAMILY ROMANCES.Leonardo da Vinci fascinated Freud primarily because he was keen to know why his personality was so incomprehensible to his contemporaries. In this probing biographical essay he deconstructs both da Vinci's character and the nature of his genius. As ever, many of his exploratory avenues lead to the subject's sexuality - why did da Vinci depict the naked human body the way hedid? What of his tendency to surround himself with handsome young boys that he took on as his pupils? Intriguing, thought-provoking and often contentious, this volume contains some of Freud's best writing.

One of Freud's central achievements was to demonstrate how unacceptable thoughts and feelings are repressed into the unconscious, from where they continue to exert a decisive influence over our lives.This volume contains a key statement about evidence for the unconscious, and how it works, as well as major essays on all the fundamentals of mental functioning. Freud explores how we are torn between the pleasure principle and the reality principle, how we often find ways both to express and to deny what we most fear, and why certain men need fetishes for their sexual satisfaction. His study of our most basic drives, and how they are transformed, brilliantly illuminates the nature of sadism, masochism, exhibitionism and voyeurism.

Building on the crucial insight that jokes use many of the same mechanisms he had already discovered in dreams, Freud developed one of the richest and most comprehensive theories of humour that has ever been produced.Jokes, he argues, provide immense pleasure by allowing us to express many of our deepest sexual, aggressive and cynical thoughts and feelings which would otherwise remain repressed. In elaborating this central thesis, he brings together a dazzling set of puns, anecdotes, snappyone-liners, spoonerisms and beloved stories of Jewish beggars and marriage-brokers. Many remain highly amusing, while others throw a vivid light on the lost world of early twentieth-century Vienna.

This collection of writings is famous for giving us the phrase 'Freudian slip'. It also builds up a strong social history of Vienna and the middle-class social milieu of Freud and his patients. Through a series of case histories, some no longer than a few lines long, Freud explores how it is that normal people make slips of speech, writing, reading and remembering in their everyday life, and reveals what it is that they betray about the existence of a sub-text or subliminal motive to our conscious actions. As he explains, most of these slips tend of be of a relatively anodyne nature, but some are a little more sinister, particularly those where pride or thwarted love are concerned...

In what remains one of his most seminal papers, Freud considers the incompatibility of civilisation and individual happiness, and the tensions between the claims of society and the individual. We all know that living in civilised groups means sacrificing a degree of personal interest, but couldn't you argue that it in fact creates the conditions for our happiness? Freud explores the arguments and counter-arguments surrounding this proposition, focusing on what he perceives to be one of society's greatest dangers; 'civilised' sexual morality. After all, doesn't repression of sexuality deeply affect people and compromise their chances of happiness?

200 citations sur la psychanalyse

500 citations des grands philosophes du XXe siècle

Freud n'a abordé que très tard, dans ses élaborations théoriques, la sexualité féminine. Au début il se référait surtout à celle du garçon et de l'homme à travers sa conception du complexe d'Œdipe. Freud envisage en effet la sexualité infantile comme ayant le même tronc commun masculin. La théorie freudienne peut bien être contestable d'un point de vue empirique et social, elle n'en reste pas moins un des fondements de la psychanalyse et de la pensée de la sexualité.

Avec Copernic, l'homme apprit qu'il n'était pas le centre de l'univers ; et avec Darwin, qu'il avait plus en commun avec le singe qu'avec Dieu. Sigmund Freud, père de la psychanalyse, devaiat apporter le coup de grâce avec l'idée que "le Moi n'est pas maître dans sa propre maison". C'est à Freud que la pensée moderne doit la description des structures et du fonctionnement de l'inconscient. Il découvrit le rôle essentiel de la fonction de transfert dans l'acte analytique, redéfinit la sexualité en passant par ses formes infantiles, mit au clair les mécanismes du refoulement et analysa rêves et symptômes comme autant de messages codés échappant à la conscience. Aujourd'hui, son héritage est partout, de l'interprétation du lapsus au complexe d'Oedipe, en passant par les plaisanteries sur tout acte manqué. Ces 100 citations de Freud rassemblent ses découvertes les plus importantes en psychanalyse, pour vous donner une vue d'ensemble de sa pensée ainsi que vous familiariser avec ses oeuvres majeures.

Freud udgav i alt fem store og et antal mindre sygdomshistorier. Udover at rumme værdifulde oplysninger om hans analytiske og terapeutiske metode tegner de et bredt kulturhistorisk billede af familielivet, omgangsformerne og forholdet mellem kønnene omkring århundreskiftet. Hver sygehistorie er samtidig en livshistorie, der – med Freuds egen formulering – kan læses som en roman eller en novelle. Sygehistorien om den paranoide retspræsident Schreber adskiller sig på to punkter fra de øvrige: For det første er det ingen egentlig psykoanalyse, men en analyse af Schrebers meget bemærkelsesværdige memoirer. For det andet var sygdommen en psykose, en sygdomsform, Freud anså for utilgængelig for psykoanalytisk behandling, men som han behøvede for at udfylde et hul i den psykoanalytiske teori.Schrebers memoirer er en selvstændig litterær præstation af betydelig udtryksstyrke, og som appendiks til Freuds analyse bringes de første fem kapitler heraf i dansk oversættelse.Bogen er forsynet med indledning og noter, der sætter sygehistorien ind i en større sammenhæng og gør læsningen af de teoretiske passager til en overkommelig opgave.Schreber udkom på dansk for første gang i 1990 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.

Sigmund Freud skabte i 1890erne en helt ny metode til behandling af neurotiske lidelser: psykoanalysen. Ved en daglig - én time lang - samtale søgte han at bevidstgøre sine patienter om sygdommens skjulte årsager og bibringe dem en følelsesmæssig accept af de intime og ofte meget pinlige detaljer, der herved kom for dagen.Freud udgav i alt frem store og et antal mindre sygehistorier. Udover at rumme værdifulde oplysninger om hans analytiske og terapeutiske metode tegner de et bredt kulturhistorisk billede af familielivet, omgangsformerne og forholdet mellem kønnene omkring århundredskiftet. Hver sygehistorie er samtidig en livshistorie, der - med Freuds egen formulering - kan læses som en roman eller novelle.Rottemandens sygehistorie drejer sig om en yngre tvangsneurotisk mand, der kom til Freud med sine problemer i efteråret 1907, og som blev behandlet intensivt de følgende måneder. Navnet hentyder til den mest generende af hans tvangstanker, nemlig forestillingen om, at sultne rotter borer sig op i endetarmen på hans længst afdøde fader og den fattige, men stolte kusine, som han har forelsket sig i. Behandlingen var ifølge Freud en ubetinget succes.Som noget helt usædvanligt gemte Freud sine notater fra de første tre måneder af behandlingen, og denne analysejournal, der rummer mange nye og særdeles intime oplysninger om patienten, er her medtaget som appendiks til den officielle sygehistorie fra 1909.

Sigmund Freud skabte i 1890'erne en helt ny metode til behandling af neurotiske lidelser: psykoanalysen. Ved en daglig - én time lang - samtale søgte Freud at bevidstgøre sine patienter om sygdommens skjulte årsager og bibringe dem en følelsesmæssig accept af de intime og ofte meget pinlige detaljer, der derved kom for dagen. Freud udgave i alt fem store og et antal mindre sygehistorier.Sygehistorien om Ulvemanden, der her foreligger første gang på dansk, er en af de fem store sygehistorier, og vel nok også den mest kendte. Ulvemanden - en russisk godsejersøn - kom som ung mand i analyse hos Freud med en række tvangsneurotiske og hysteriske symptomer. Gennem fire års analyse lykkedes det Freud at finde sygdommens udspring i barndommen. Alle tråde samler sig i en drøm, ulvemanden havde natten før sin fireårs fødselsdag: seks-syv hvide ulve sidder ubevægelige i et træ og stirret ind ad vinduet på drengen, der ligger i sin seng. Bag denne drøm gemmer sig bl.a. en fortrængt erindring om forældrenes samleje.

Psykoanalysen havde allerede en snes år på bagen, da Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) for første gang blev oversat til dansk i 1920. Det var digteren Otto Gelsted, som under titlen "Det ubevidste" havde samlet Freuds introducerende forelæsninger fra USA-turnéen 1909, Om psykoanalyse, og hans populærer fremstilling af drømmeteorien fra 1901, Om drømmen.De to små skrifter er stadig en fremragende introduktin til det ubevidstes psykologi - og en god opvarmning til Freuds store forfatterskab, som ingen bør snyde sig sig for.
