A Beginner's Guide to Dream Psychology

Produktbeschreibung

Sigmund Freud, the father of modern Psychology, was well known for his extraordinary work in dream analysis. He concluded that the unconscious mind is unleashed during the dream state. For this reason he saw an opportunity in dreams to peer into his patient's darkest desires and deepest fears. His studies describe how his patient's dreams reveal their daily challenges with adultery, incest, phobias, and distress. Freud's genius lied in his ability to identify core issues that trouble his patients. Very often the issues at hand are very personal and his patients wouldn't admit the true nature of their dilemmas. Only when recalling their dreams would his patients unwittingly reveal their unconscious mind to the questions of an experienced inquisitor. With this insight into his patient's hidden traits, and his own vast experience, Freud would always come up with resourceful solutions to the tribulations that his patients face.

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.
