Freudian Psychology

A master of psychoanalysis and social philosophy explores Zen Buddhism. In 1957, social philosopher and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm invited Daisetz T. Suzuki, the most famous Zen Buddhist master in the Western world, to a seminar at his new home in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Their discussion was one of the highlights of Fromm’s life, and the paper Fromm presented (and later expanded into a book) was a watershed work. Fromm demonstrates his mastery of the philosophy and practice of Zen.

Anthony Stevens argues that Jung's visionary powers and profound spirituality have helped many to find an alternative set of values to the arid materialism prevailing Western society.

Après avoir évoqué les origines de la psychanalyse, les "Cinq Leçons sur la psychanalyse" exposent les traits fondamentaux de la méthode. Freud y propose l'explication de l'hystérie et du refoulement, ainsi que le rôle des rêves. Il éclaire aussi la sexualité infantile et s'interroge sur la libido au travers du complexe d'Œdipe. Enfin, il analyse la névrose, le transfert et la sublimation.

Sigmund Freud revolutionized the way in which we think about ourselves. From its beginnings as a theory of neurosis Freud developed psychoanalysis into a general psychology, which became widely accepted as the predominant mode of discussing personality and interpersonal relationships. Anthony Storr goes one step further and investigates the status of Freud's legacy today and the disputes that surround it.

Freud explora la compleja dinámica del inconsciente, revelando cómo influye en nuestras acciones, pensamientos y emociones. El inconsciente planteado por la teoría freudiana está compuesto por elementos racionales y emocionales concretos que permanecen reprimidos por tener un significado problemático para la mente consciente. Este libro no solo es fundamental para estudiantes de psicología, sino también para aquellos interesados en entender los misteriosos mecanismos que rigen el comportamiento humano y la formación de la personalidad.

The classic book that shaped the field of public relations and modern media. In his seminal work, Edward Bernays, the pioneering mind behind modern public relations, unravels the intricate mechanisms of mass persuasion and the subtle art of influencing public opinion. First published in 1928, this original edition remains a critical text for understanding the foundations and ethical implications of propaganda.

Maroda asserts that an enduring blind spot arises from clinicians' ongoing need to deny what they are personally seeking from the analytic process, including the need to rescue and be rescued. She equally seeks to remove the guilt and shame associated with these motivations, encouraging clinicians to embrace both their own humanity and their patients', rather than seeking to transcend them. Maroda confronts the analyst's tendencies to favor harmony over conflict, passivity over active interventions, and viewing the patient as an infant rather than an adult.

Comment les premières sociétés se sont-elles construites ? Sur quels repères moraux et spirituels ont-elles fondé leur organisation ? Telles sont les questions complexes que Freud explore dans cet ouvrage qui applique les enseignements de la psychanalyse à l’anthropologie. L’approche est originale : pour remonter aux racines de l’ordre social et moral, l’auteur s’appuie conjointement sur un raisonnement spéculatif (le mythe scientifique) et sur les travaux d’ethnologues contemporains tels que Charles Darwin et James Frazer.

"Totem and Taboo: Resemblances Between the Mental Lives of Savages and Neurotics" is a work by Sigmund Freud, published in German in 1913. It is a collection of four essays first published in the journal "Imago" (1912-13), employing the application of psychoanalysis to the fields of archaeology, anthropology, and the study of religion.

Original 1923 text of The Ego and the Id by Sigmund Freud. This text has been edited to replace acronyms Freud used for brevity with full words for ease in understanding. This book also includes a foreword by Daniel Noyes.

Se de médico e louco todo mundo tem um pouco, de psicanalista e palhaço todo mundo tem um pedaço. Christian Dunker e Cláudio Thebas abordam neste audiolivro, com bom humor e profundidade, um tema comum para ambos os ofícios: como escutar os outros? Como escutar a si mesmo? E como a escuta pode transformar pessoas?

Sigmund Freud’s “The Interpretation of Dreams” has been described as one of the most important books of the 20th century. As a result of the perception, however, that it is a lengthy and complex work, Freud embarked on the task of compiling a more brief and simplified version of his ideas on the interpretation of dreams. The results of this labor are presented in "On Dreams". From the time of its appearance, a large and loyal audience of scholars, experts and curious learners have relied on this work for a trusted and systematic exposition of Freud's theory of dreams.

Welsh-born psychoanalyst Ernest Jones was Sigmund Freud's closest associate and most fervent disciple. Clever, self-confident and intensely ambitious, Jones promoted psychoanalysis as a kind of secular religion. Meanwhile, his intimate friend Wilfred Trotter—a celebrated surgeon who saved the life of George V, and who took on Freud as a patient during his London exile—refused to yield to the seductions of the new Freudianism. A quintessentially English figure, Trotter was unimpressed by slick medical careerists, distrusted grand theories and lacked pomposity and self-regard.

In this study, Fromm argues that man needs to analyze his unconscious thoughts, his dreams, and his conscious fantasies, as they reflect a universal and symbolic representation of himself.

Les actes manqués ont un sens. Nous désignons par actes manqués les phénomènes qui se produisent lorsqu'une personne prononce ou écrit, en s'en apercevant ou non, un mot autre que celui qu'elle veut dire ou tracer (lapsus) ; lorsqu'on lit, dans un texte imprimé ou manuscrit, un mot autre que celui qui est réellement imprimé ou écrit (fausse lecture), ou lorsqu'on entend autre chose que ce qu'on vous dit, sans que cette fausse audition tienne à un trouble organique de l'organe auditif.

While C. G. Jung had a natural intuitive understanding of the transference and countertransference, his lack of a "coherent method and clinical technique for working with transference and his ambivalence and mercurial attitude to matters of method," have, in the words of therapist and Jungian scholar Jan Wiener, sometimes left Jungians who are eager to hone their knowledge and skills in this area "floundering and confused."

Sigmund Freud considérait cet ouvrage comme son œuvre fondamentale. Il eut d'ailleurs un succès retentissant. Il est vrai que la proposition de l'auteur est attirante : le rêve, perçu comme l'accomplissement déguisé d'un désir, serait la voie royale qui mène à l'inconscient. À partir du récit de n'importe quel rêve, Freud s'autorise ainsi des interprétations dont le mécanisme utilise de libres associations afin d'accéder aux idées latentes et aux désirs refoulés du narrateur.

As the title suggests, Fromm's is a wholeheartedly balanced view, inspired by great admiration for Freud's achievements but with a clear understanding of the preconceptions which blinkered his vision - notably those stemming from the bourgeois materialism of his society, his certainty of the inferiority of women and his inability to conceive of psychical phenomena for which physiological roots could not be demonstrated.

Au-delà du principe de plaisir est un ouvrage majeur de Sigmund Freud, publié en 1920. Le principe de plaisir fait référence à la tendance instinctive chez les individus à rechercher le plaisir et à éviter la douleur, tendance qui motive une grande partie du comportement humain. En outre, ne se limitant pas à cette seule question, Freud développe également dans cet ouvrage sa théorie sur les pulsions de vie et de mort, cherchant à expliquer des aspects du psychisme humain qui ne sont pas entièrement compris par la seule référence au principe de plaisir.

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.
