A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis‪ ‬

“Anxiety is the mark which shows that the suppressed wish showed itself stronger than the censorship.” - Freud

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is known around the world as the “Father of Psychoanalysis,” and for good reason. If anything, Freud’s first patient was himself. A sufferer of psychosomatic symptoms, Freud diagnosed himself as having a repressed antagonism against his father. From there, Freud began to build on his now famous concepts of the unconscious, infantile sexuality and repression. And of course, there’s his famous theory on the structure of the mind, which has made Id and Ego a commonly used part of the English lexicon. 

This edition of Freud’s A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with pictures of Freud, his life and work.
