Sigmund Freud. The Psychopathology of Everyday Life. The Interpretation of Dreams. Five Lectures on Psychoanalysis

Sigmund Freud had a significant influence on psychology, medicine, sociology, anthropology, literature, and art of the 20th century. Among Freud's greatest achievements are: the justification of the concept of the ‘unconscious’, the development of the theory of the Oedipus complex, the creation of the method of free associations, and the methodology of dream interpretation. The book gathers the brightest and most popular works of the philosopher: ‘The Psychopathology of Everyday Life’, ‘The Interpretation of Dreams’, and ‘Five Lectures on Psychoanalysis’. The philosophical treatises reflect the author's position and give the reader a chance to appreciate the creative legacy of Sigmund Freud. ‘The Interpretation of Dreams’ is the most important of Freud's works. It is here that the concept of the ‘unconscious’ first appears and the foundations for psychoanalysis are laid. ‘The Psychopathology of Everyday Life’ remains a key work in the theory of psychoanalysis, as it addresses one of the fundamental concepts of the doctrine – parapraxes, insignificant mechanical errors, slips of the tongue, etc. ‘Five Lectures on Psychoanalysis’ is a brief yet very thorough exposition of Freud's teachings, including specific examples that illustrate the application of psychoanalysis in practice.
