The Psychology of Crowds and the Analysis of the Human Ego

"The Psychology of Crowds and the Analysis of the Human Ego" - one of the most renowned works of Sigmund Freud - is also considered one of his most paradoxical pieces. For here, the "father of psychoanalysis" appears not so much as a psychoanalyst but rather as a classical psychologist, investigating not only personal but also social aspects of the development of the inner world of a person and the hidden, deep motives that shape their perception of the world.
