The Psychopathology of Everyday Life. In a new, complete translation!

«The Psychopathology of Everyday Life», first published in 1901, — an early book by Sigmund Freud, extremely popular among the general public. This work became one of the most important in his scientific biography and one of the key texts in the history of psychoanalysis; Jacques Lacan considered it one of the most important works in history for understanding the unconscious. Here, Freud convincingly demonstrates, through numerous examples drawn mainly from his own life or the lives of colleagues and friends, how seemingly random mistakes — slips of the tongue, mishearings, forgetting names, misplacing objects, minor nonsensical actions, and so on — reveal to us what lies deep within our unconscious: our repressed desires. In a world where the capacity for reflection and honesty with oneself are encountered less frequently than one would like, this book, engaging and impartial, remains essential reading for anyone willing to look within and confront their own «self». During Freud's lifetime, «The Psychopathology of Everyday Life» was reissued multiple times, and each time he supplemented it with new examples and thoughts. We are publishing a new complete translation of this classic work.
