Sigmund Freud: The Basics is an easy-to-read introduction to the
life and ideas of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis and
a key figure in the history of psychology. Janet Sayers provides an
accessible overview of Freud's early life and work, beginning with
his childhood. Her book includes the stories of his most famous
patients: Dora, Little Hans, the Rat Man, Judge Schreber, and the
Wolf Man. It also discusses Freud's key ideas such as psychosexual
development, the Oedipus complex, and psychoanalytic treatment.
Sayers then covers Freud's later work, with a description of his
observations about depression, trauma and the death instinct, as
well as his 1923 theory of the id, ego, and superego. The book
includes a glossary of key terms and concludes with examples of how
psychoanalysis has been applied to the study of art, literature,
film, anthropology, religion, sociology, gender politics, and
racism. Sigmund Freud: The Basics offers an essential introduction
for students from all backgrounds seeking to understand Freud's
ideas and for general readers with an interest in psychology. For
those already familiar with Freudian ideas, it offers a helpful
guide to their interdisciplinary applications and context not least
today.
