Psychoanalysis. For those who want to do it all

Our actions, decisions, and desires have their reasons and consequences — sometimes they are on the surface, and sometimes they are hidden so deeply that it can be difficult to sort them out on our own. This book will talk about the most mysterious and ambiguous direction of psychology — psychoanalysis. According to this theory, our behavior is determined by irrational and unconscious drives that accumulate in us from childhood and can lead to psychological difficulties. First formulated as a separate phenomenon by Austrian psychiatrist and psychologist Sigmund Freud, psychoanalysis still provokes heated debates. You will learn about the history of this method, its past and present, main ideas, and ways of application from this book.
