Beschreibung

Bloomsbury presents A Brief Introduction to Psychoanalytic Theory by Stephen Frosh, read by Sofia Engstrand. Psychoanalytic theory remains hugely influential to our understanding of the mind and human behaviour. It provides a rich source of ideas for therapeutic practice while offering dramatic insights for the study of culture and society, with applications that extend across film, literature and politics. Taking you step-by-step through Freud's original ideas and their evolution, this book explores the birth of psychoanalysis and provides a clear account of fundamental psychoanalytic concepts. New to this edition: · A new chapter on class, gender and race · Expanded sections on neuropsychoanalysis, relational theory and trauma · Updated throughout to offer a succinct exploration of the history, development and current standing of psychoanalysis Written by a highly respected authority in the field, this updated edition is essential reading for trainees in counselling and psychotherapy, as well as for students across the arts, humanities and social sciences.
