Reviews
  • 'a model exercise in synthesis, and the final essay on the "appeal" of psychotherapy is especially neat.' - Independent

Description
  • Freud's theories of the unconscious, neurosis, repression, the ego, and so on revolutionized the way in which we think about ourselves
  • Freud's influence extends far beyond psychology and psychiatry -- he is studied in philosophy, literary theory, and cultural studies courses, for example
  • Anthony Storr is one of the most important writers on the subject
  • First published in the Past Masters series, where it has sold well over 30,000 copies
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) revolutionized the way in which we think about ourselves. From its beginnings as a theory of neurosis, Freud developed psycho-analysis into a general psychology which became widely accepted as the predominant mode of discussing personality and interpersonal relationships.
