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.

In Man for Himself, Erich Fromm examines the confusion of modern women and men who, because they lack faith in any principle by which life ought to be guided, become the helpless prey forces both within and without. From the broad, interdisciplinary perspective that marks Fromm's distinguished oeuvre, he shows that psychology cannot divorce itself from the problems of philosophy and ethics, and that human nature cannot be understood without understanding the values and moral conflicts that confront us all.

"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.

Drawing on rarely consulted archives, Crews shows us a man who blundered tragicomically in his dealings with patients, who never produced a corroborated cure, who promoted cocaine in one decade and was deluded by it in the next, who misunderstood the psychological controversies of the era, and who advanced his career through falsifying case histories and betraying the mentors who had helped him to rise.

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.

Fromm demonstrates his mastery of the philosophy and practice of Zen.

Dans ce texte, écrit en 1910, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) s'attache à étudier le processus de la création artistique chez Léonard de Vinci. Il part d'un des premiers souvenirs d'enfance rapporté par le peintre. Pour Freud, il s'agit plutôt d'un fantasme, qu'il appellera "le fantasme au vautour", que Léonard "s'est construit plus tard et qu'il a alors rejeté dans son enfance" et qui se rapproche de certains "fantasmes de femmes ou d'homosexuels passifs".

Une rencontre passionnante entre la psychanalyse et la mythologie. Oedipe, Icare, Narcisse ou encore Aphrodite... Autant de personnages de la mythologie grecque que se sont appropriés les psychanalystes, dont, au premier rang, Sigmund Freud. L'inventeur de la dynamique du moi, du surmoi et du ça a puisé dans les drames et chamailleries antiques.

En este trabajo, Freud resume sus discusiones más tempranas sobre el tema del narcisismo y considera su lugar en el desarrollo sexual. Por otra parte mira a los problemas más profundos de la relación entre el yo y los objetos externos, estableciendo una nueva distinción entre «libido yoica» y «libido objetal». Lo más importante es que introduce la idea del «ideal del yo» y la instancia de autoobservación relacionada con ella.

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.

Qui, parmi nous, n'a pas eu à souffrir d'une histoire plus ou moins lourde, plus ou moins secrète, culpabilisante, que nous répétons inlassablement ? Pourquoi faisons-nous avec obstination de mauvais choix en amour ? Pourquoi multiplions-nous des échecs que rien en apparence ne justifie ? Pourquoi tombons-nous malades, pourquoi souffrons-nous d'un trouble qui n'a rien de génétique mais qui s'est déjà manifesté chez l'un de nos ancêtres et à l'âge que, précisément, nous atteignons ?

De nationalité autrichienne, Sigmund Freud est le créateur de la science psychanalytique. Son œuvre constitue l'un des événements les plus importants qu'ait eu à enregistrer l'histoire des sciences de l'esprit.

Sigmund Freud was a catalyst who signaled a seat change in how humanity came to understand the world and how it relates to the human mind. And if you have ever had a “Freudian slip”, you know full well that the concepts and theories of Mr. Freud are well ensconced in the modern lexicon. Many of us are familiar with his work, but his audiobook examines the man behind the work.

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.

Eng and psychotherapist Shinhee Han draw on case histories from the mid-1990s to the present to explore the social and psychic predicaments of Asian American young adults from Generation X to Generation Y. Combining critical race theory with several strands of psychoanalytic thought, they develop the concepts of racial melancholia and racial dissociation to investigate changing processes of loss associated with immigration, displacement, diaspora, and assimilation.
