Sigmund Freud
The Freud Reader
The Freud Reader
Sigmund Freud, Peter Gay (Editor)
Freudian thought permeates many aspects of 20th-century life, and to understand Freud is to explore not only his scientific papers but also his writings on art, literature, politics, religion and culture. Containing 51 texts which span Freud's entire career, from early case histories, through his work on dreams and essays on sexuality, and on to his late writings (including "Civilisation and Its Discontents"), this book brings together his ideas as a scientist, humanist, doctor and philosopher. Introductions to the texts are provided by Peter Gay, who has also written a general introduction which places the man and his work in the context of his time and culture.
Sigmund Freud (Key Figures in Counselling & Psychotherapy S.)
In refreshing contrast to most other books on Sigmund Freud, this is a highly accessible account of his life and ideas, which focuses on the relevance of Freud's work for contemporary approaches to counselling and psychotherapy. The book provides an overview which is based firmly on Freud's own writings, but which goes far beyond a recapitulation of the existing literature, to offer fresh insights and some surprises, about both Freud the man and his theories. Written by bestselling author, Michael Jacobs and now fully updated for its Second Edition, Sigmund Freud presents and responds to the criticisms that Freud's work attracted and charts his continuing influence in the twenty-first century. This is highly recommended reading for those training in counselling and psychotherapy as well as those studying Freud in other contexts.
Freud: a Life for Our Time
Probes the professional and personal life of one of this century's most influential thinkers, analysing Freud's disputes with his students, his life in relation to the troubles of his native Austria, and his controversial love life.
Basic Freud
Basic Freud
Michael Kahn
Freud's theories demonstrates why they are still indispensable to understanding ourselves and the way we behave.. In Basic Freud, noted psychologist Michael Kahn shows that even in the age of psychopharmaceuticals and cognitive therapy, Freud's major insights into the unconscious remain unsurpassed tools for understanding our behaviors, motivations, and emotions. Kahn presents key ideas such as the Oedipus complex, the repetition compulsion, guilt, anxiety, and defense mechanisms, along with recent research that has supported or expanded Freud's findings. Kahn also presents real case studies from his own work as a psychotherapist to show how Freudian thought has been instrumental in helping his clients discover who they are and escape from destructive patterns. Lay readers and professional psychotherapists alike will benefit from Kahn's fresh, informed, and unpretentious approach.
Dr. Freud: A Life
Dr Sigmund Freud, his work and his world, emerge in fine detail from this biography. Stoical, humorous, devious, magnificently self-aware, he tried to explain us in terms of our memories and our past.

Freud and Man's Soul
Freud and Man's Soul
Bruno Bettelheim
Has Sigmund Freud been seriously misunderstood? Do standard translations serve only to distort his thought and conceal a profound humanism? Bettelheim cuts through the myths to reveal a greater, more passionate and also far more disturbing figure than he is usually portrayed.

How to Read Freud
Granta's new How to Read series is based on a very simple, but novel, idea. Most beginners' guides to great thinkers and writers offer either potted biographies or condensed summaries of their major works. How to Read, by contrast, brings the reader face to face with the writing itself in the company of an expert guide. In this engaging introduction, Josh Cohen argues that Freud shows above all that any thought, word or action, however apparently trivial, can invite close reading. Indeed, it may be just this insight that makes psychoanalysis so many opponents. By reading - closely - short extracts from across Freud's work addressing the neuroses, the unconscious, words, death and (of course) sex, How to Read Freud brings out the paradoxical core of psychoanalytic thinking: our innermost truths only ever manifest themselves as distortions. Read attentively, our dreams, errors, jokes, symptoms, in short, our everyday lives, reveal us as masters of disguise, as unrecognisable to ourselves as to others.
Freud: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introduction S.)
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) revolutionized the way in which we think about ourselves. From its beginnings as a theory of neurosis, Freud developed psycho-analysis into a general psychology which became widely accepted as the predominant mode of discussing personality and interpersonal relationships.
