Selected Writings Review

From cover flap: Sigmund Freud, recognized as the founder of psychoanalysis, was a physician and intellectual pioneer who enlarged human imagination with his explanations of the origins and development of the unconscious mind. His theories on the nature of personality formation and human behavior have had a profound influence on the development of psychology over the past century, and on the entire range of modern culture. Included in the volume, following an introductory essay by Robert Coles, are the following works by Freud: On Dreams; Five Lectures on Psycho Analysis; Leonardo da Vinci and a Memory of His Childhood; Beyond the Pleasure Principle; Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety; and Excerpts from Civilization and Its Discontents.
