The Psychology of the Unconscious

This book includes the major works of the Austrian psychologist and founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, who created a system for analyzing the mental life of a person. The presented works: "The Analysis of a Five-Year-Old Boy's Phobia", "Three Essays... on the Theory of Sexuality", "On Dreams", "Beyond the Pleasure Principle", "The Ego and the Id", and others - demonstrate that consciousness is inseparable from the deeper levels of mental activity.
The most interesting aspects include the analysis of childhood neuroses, the theory of drives, the principles of regulating mental life, analysis of specific clinical cases, and facts of everyday human life. The central piece of the collection is the work "The Psychopathology of Everyday Life", in which Freud, based on the theory of repression, shows that unconscious motives determine human behavior in both normality and pathology, which can be effectively used
for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
The book is intended for students and teachers of psychology, medicine, and education faculties at universities, as well as for specialists seeking a deep and comprehensive study of psychoanalytic theory and practice, and for all those interested in the questions of the inner world of human personality.
