A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis is a work by Sigmund Freudnow brought to you in this new edition of the timeless classic. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Freud is crude at times and brilliant at others. I cannot agree with his every thought. Though, I have referred back to his lectures for over 20 years and still continue to read them for additional insight. His work, along with Ivan Pavlov's serves as a great foundation to the study of the mind.

This is a great introduction to Freud's lectures and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in Freud's works and psycho-analysis. The book is very well translated and easy to read whether one has psych background or not.

many things to think about, do not judge Freud and pull the log from your own eye and study until you do realize who the greatest teacher is, Freud is goodbut One is better.

This is the best introduction to Freud's ground-breaking psychological theories, now so much maligned and obscured by the apologists for the pharmaceutical stupefaction and mollification that now passes for psychiatry and keeps our bankrupt culture lurching forward. It takes courage to read this book with an open mind, but if you do you can't but gain new insight into yourself and the people around you. The prose is delightful-- erudite, lucid, penetrating (ha!), and illustrated with beautifully observed examples from literature, history, and Freud's own life and practice.
best intro to the thought of a great humanist

Here you can witness Freud not as the straw man stereotype that so many despise but as a warm, humorous man with a great deal of vision. The man you encounter in this book is so different from what you would expect that I warmly recommend this to anyone with an inquiring mind.He was a genius.
