One of Freud's central achievements was to demonstrate how
unacceptable thoughts and feelings are repressed into the
unconscious, from where they continue to exert a decisive influence
over our lives. This volume contains a key statement about evidence
for the unconscious, and how it works, as well as major essays on
all the fundamentals of mental functioning. Freud explores how we
are torn between the pleasure principle and the reality principle,
how we often find ways both to express and to deny what we most
fear, and why certain men need fetishes for their sexual
satisfaction. His study of our most basic drives, and how they are
transformed, brilliantly illuminates the nature of sadism,
masochism, exhibitionism and voyeurism.
