HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved,
essential classics. The virtuous man contents himself with dreaming
that which the wicked man does in actual life. At the turn of the
twentieth century, Sigmund Freud published a controversial and
groundbreaking theory. Our dreams, he proposed, are as complex and
multifaceted as human nature itself, and understanding the
unconscious mind is key to revealing our true hopes and desires.
Highly engaging and compelling, Freud’s research explores dreams
and nightmares of every kind, including his own. First published in
1900, The Interpretation of Dreams is considered by many to be
Freud’s most significant work, helping to establish his
reputation as the founder of psychoanalysis and continuing to
fascinate readers today.

"Freud 'is destined to remain among us as the most influential of
20th-century sages'"-New York Times One of famed psychoanalyst
Sigmund Freud's most prominent ideas was that of the id, the ego,
and the super-ego-the three main factors behind the workings of the
human mind. Freud claimed these components of the human psyche
controlled all processes of personality, behaviors, and traits in a
person. The Id was a person's most basic and impulsive
instincts-the ones that feed into our deepest desires and physical
needs. The Super-Ego was the opposite of the id. This component
controlled our highest morals and standards, operating through our
conscience and making us desire to be our most ideal-selves. The
piece in the middle is the Ego. The ego mediates between the id and
realities of the world around us, while being supervised (and
guilted) by the super-ego. In this new edition of his book, The Ego
and the Id, Sigmund Freud delves deeper into the concepts of the
human mind and the results of the conflicts and workings between
them.
A fascinating case study that reads like a detective novel, pulling
readers deep into the twisted world and dark mental corners of one
of Sigmund Freud's most intriguing psychological patients.
An intelligent but troubled eighteen-year-old girl to whom Freud
gives the pseudonym "Dora" is at the center of this captivating
case study. Freud's analysis focuses on Dora, however she is
surrounded by an emotionally disturbed cast of characters that
thicken the psychological intrigue. As Dora falls into the
paralysis of psychological hysteria, Freud uses all of his
analytical genius and literary skill to explore Dora's inner life
and explain the cause of her neuroses.
In this controversial study, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) applies the
theories and evidence of his psychoanalytic investigations to the
study of aboriginal peoples and, by extension, to the earliest
cultural stages of the human race before the rise of large-scale
civilisations. Freud points out the striking parallels between the
cultural practices of native tribal groups and the behaviour
patterns of neurotics. Beginning with a discussion of the incest
taboo, he compares some of the elaborate taboo restrictions seen in
these cultures to the scrupulous rituals of compulsion neurotics,
who in a similar fashion are wrestling with the ambivalent emotions
aroused by the incest taboo. He suggests that many of the rituals
of culture are developed as psychological reactions to taboos,
which prohibit the acting out of an infantile impulse that would be
socially destructive. Freud concludes by invoking his famous
Oedipal complex as the key to the development of culture.;The
repressed psychological urge to kill the father as a rival for the
mother's affections is the underlying motive for the symbols and
ceremonies of religion with its rituals of atonement and its
notions of angry gods, original sin, and human guilt. Although
Freud's theories are controversial today, this masterful synthesis
and its undeniable influence on later scholars of religion,
anthropology, and psychology make it a seminal work.
Sigmund Freud's controversial ideas have penetrated Western culture
more deeply than those of any other psychologist. The 'Freudian
slip', the 'Oedipus complex', 'childhood sexuality', 'libido',
'narcissism' 'penis envy', the 'castration complex', the 'id', the
'ego' and the 'superego', 'denial', 'repression', 'identification',
'projection', 'acting out', the 'pleasure principle', the 'reality
principle', 'defence-mechanism' - are all taken for granted in our
everyday vocabulary.
Psychoanalysis was never just a method of treatment, rather a
vision of the human condition which has continued to fascinate and
provoke long after the death of its originator. Its central
hypothesis, that we live in conflict with ourselves and seek to
resolve matters by turning away from reality, did not emerge from
experimental science but from self-examination and the unique
opportunities for observation presented by the psychoanalytic
technique - in particular, from the confessions produced by
'free-association' in Freud's consulting room. Written during the
turmoil of the First World War, "A General Introduction to
Psychoanalysis" was distilled from a series of lectures given at
Vienna University, but had to wait for the war to end before being
made available to the English speaking world.
Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics Series edited by Tom
Butler-Bowdon, this collectible, hard-back edition of The
Interpretation of Dreams provides an accessible and insightful
edition of this important work of psychology Sigmund Freud's The
Interpretation of Dreams introduced his ground-breaking theory of
the unconscious and explored how interpreting dreams can reveal the
true nature of humanity. Regarded as Freud's most significant work,
this classic text helped establish the discipline of psychology and
is the foundational work in the field of psychoanalysis. Highly
readable and engaging, the book both provides a
semi-autobiographical look into Freud's personal life - his
holidays in the Alps, spending time with his children, interacting
with friends and colleagues - and delves into descriptions and
analyses of the dreams themselves. Freud begins with a review of
literature on dreams written by a broad range of ancient and
contemporary figures - concluding that science has learned little
of the nature of dreams in the past several thousand years.
Although the prevailing view was that dreams were merely responses
to 'sensory excitation, ' Freud felt that the multifaceted
dimensions of dreams could not be attributed solely to physical
causes. By the time Freud began writing the book he had interpreted
over a thousand dreams of people with psychoses and recognised the
connection between the content of dreams and a person's mental
health. Among his conclusions were that a person's dreams: Prefer
using recent impressions, yet also have access to early childhood
memories Unify different people, places, events and sensations into
one story Usually focus on small or unnoticed things rather than
major events Are almost always 'wish fulfilments' which are about
the self Have many layers of meaning which are often condensed into
a single image The Interpretation of Dreams: The Psychology Classic
is as riveting today as it was over a century ago. Anyone with
interest in the workings of the unconscious mind will find this
book an invaluable source of original insights and foundational
scientific concepts. This edition includes an insightful
Introduction by Sarah Tomley, a psychology writer and practicing
psychotherapist. Tomley considers paints a picture of Freud's life
and times, reveals the place of The Interpretation of Dreams in the
context of Freud's other writings, and draws out the key points of
the work.

Sigmund Freud was already internationally acclaimed as the
principal founder of psychoanalysis when he turned his attention to
the life of Leonardo da Vinci. It remained Freud's favourite
composition. Compressing many of his insights into a few pages, the
result is a fascinating picture of some of Freud's fundamental
ideas, including human sexuality, dreams, and repression. It is an
equally compelling - and controversial - portrait of Leonardo and
the creative forces that according to Freud lie behind some of his
great works, including the Mona Lisa. With a new foreword by Maria
Walsh.
Written in the decade before Freud s death, Civilization and Its
Discontents may be his most famous and most brilliant work. It has
been praised, dissected, lambasted, interpreted, and reinterpreted.
Originally published in 1930, it seeks to answer several questions
fundamental to human society and its organization: What influences
led to the creation of civilization? Why and how did it come to be?
What determines civilization s trajectory? Freud s theories on the
effect of the knowledge of death on human existence and the birth
of art are central to his work. Of the various English translations
of Freud s major works to appear in his lifetime, only Norton s
Standard Edition, under the general editorship of James Strachey,
was authorized by Freud himself. This new edition includes both an
introduction by the renowned cultural critic and writer Christopher
Hitchens as well as Peter Gay s classic biographical note on
Freud."
What are the most common dreams and why do we have them? What does
a dream about death mean? What do dreams of swimming, failing, or
flying symbolize?
First published by Sigmund Freud in 1899, "The Interpretation of
Dreams" considers why we dream and what it means in the larger
picture of our psychological lives. Delving into theories of
manifest and latent dream content, the special language of dreams,
dreams as wish fulfillments, the significance of childhood
experiences, and much more, Freud, widely considered the "father of
psychoanalysis," thoroughly and thoughtfully examines dream
psychology. Encompassing dozens of case histories and detailed
analyses of actual dreams, this landmark text presents Freud's
legendary work as a tool for comprehending our sleeping
experiences.
Renowned for translating Freud's German writings into English,
James Strachey--with the assistance of Anna Freud--first published
this edition in 1953. Incorporating all textual alterations made by
Freud over a period of thirty years, it remains the most complete
translation of the work in print.

Translated by A.A. Brill With an Introduction by Stephen Wilson.
Sigmund Freud's audacious masterpiece, The Interpretation of
Dreams, has never ceased to stimulate controversy since its
publication in 1900. Freud is acknowledged as the founder of
psychoanalysis, the key to unlocking the human mind, a task which
has become essential to man's survival in the twentieth century, as
science and technology have rushed ahead of our ability to cope
with their consequences. Freud saw that man is at war with himself
and often unable to tolerate too much reality. He propounded the
theory that dreams are the contraband representations of the beast
within man, smuggled into awareness during sleep. In Freudian
interpretation, the analysis of dreams is the key to unlocking the
secrets of the unconscious mind.
