Produktbeschreibung

Psychopathology of Everyday Life by Sigmund Freud is a seminal work in the field of psychology and falls into the genre of psychoanalysis. It is a non-fiction book that explores the hidden meanings and motivations behind everyday actions, slips of the tongue, forgetfulness, and other seemingly insignificant behaviours. As the founder of psychoanalysis, Freud delves into the depths of the human mind, examining the unconscious forces that shape our thoughts and behaviours. In Psychopathology of Everyday Life, he presents case studies, anecdotes, and personal observations to demonstrate how seemingly minor actions can reveal underlying psychological processes and unresolved conflicts. Through his analysis of slips of the tongue, forgetfulness, dreams, and other psychological phenomena, Freud uncovers the influence of the unconscious mind on our everyday experiences. He argues that these seemingly random occurrences can provide valuable insights into our desires, anxieties, and repressed thoughts. By exploring the psychopathology of ordinary life, Freud challenges conventional notions of normalcy and emphasizes the significance of unconscious processes in understanding human behaviour. His groundbreaking theories and concepts laid the foundation for modern psychoanalysis and had a profound impact on the fields of psychology and psychiatry. Psychopathology of Everyday Life remains a classic text in the field of psychoanalysis, offering readers a thought-provoking exploration of the hidden meanings and complexities of everyday actions. It invites readers to examine their own behaviours and thought processes, illuminating the intricate interplay between the conscious and unconscious mind.

Autorenporträt

Sigmund Freud ( born Sigismund Schlomo Freud; 6 May 1856 - 23 September 1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst.[4]Freud was born to Galician Jewish parents in the Moravian town of Freiberg, in the Austrian Empire. He qualified as a doctor of medicine in 1881 at the University of Vienna.[5][6] Upon completing his habilitation in 1885, he was appointed a docent in neuropathology and became an affiliated professor in 1902.[7] Freud lived and worked in Vienna, having set up his clinical practice there in 1886. In 1938, Freud left Austria to escape the Nazis. He died in exile in the United Kingdom in 1939.In founding psychoanalysis, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association and discovered transference, establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud's redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory.[8] His analysis of dreams as wish-fulfillments provided him with models for the clinical analysis of symptom formation and the underlying mechanisms of repression. On this basis Freud elaborated his theory of the unconscious and went on to develop a model of psychic structure comprising id, ego and super-ego.[9] Freud postulated the existence of libido, a sexualised energy with which mental processes and structures are invested and which generates erotic attachments, and a death drive, the source of compulsive repetition, hate, aggression and neurotic guilt.[10] In his later works, Freud developed a wide-ranging interpretation and critique of religion and culture.
