Here are the essential ideas of psychoanalytic theory, including
Freud's explanations of such concepts as the Id, Ego and Super-Ego,
the Death Instinct and Pleasure Principle, along with classic case
studies like that of the Wolf Man. Adam Phillips's marvellous
selection provides an ideal overview of Freud's thought in all its
extraordinary ambition and variety. Psychoanalysis may be known as
the 'talking cure', yet it is also and profoundly, a way of
reading. Here we can see Freud's writings as readings and
listenings, deciphering the secrets of the mind, finding words for
desires that have never found expression. Much more than this,
however, The Penguin Freud Reader presents a compelling reading of
life as we experience it today, and a way in to the work of one of
the most haunting writers of the modern age.
