The Secrets of Our Unconscious: The Theory of Psychoanalysis

Everything you wanted to know about psychoanalysis but were afraid to ask. This book is dedicated to the theoretical component of psychoanalysis (the history of the development of this field: from Freud to neuropsychoanalysis, explanation of the main concepts). It is written in an accessible and engaging manner with examples from the author's practice. It does not require special preparation from readers. The book will be of interest to those who are curious about psychology, self-knowledge, who want to understand themselves, help themselves and their loved ones – but may not yet be ready (psychologically and financially) to undergo therapy. Also for those who want to better understand psychoanalysis as part of the modern cultural background, even simply to figure out what lies behind common concepts such as 'Oedipus complex', 'castration complex', 'repression', expressions and jokes like 'Freudian slip' and others like 'sometimes a banana is just a banana'.
