. .

Résumé :
Freud's excellent lectures introducing the key pillars of psychoanalytic practice and theory are presented here complete in hardcover. Delivered between 1915 and 1917, the lectures detail theories pioneered by Freud. Delivered in the later part of his career, these lectures are a retrospective summary of the ideas which revolutionized psychology in the early 20th century. It is here that the fully-formed ideas are expressed clearly, with the added benefit of experiences Freud had in employing his methods to treat sufferers of mental illness and neuroses. The translation of the lectures to English was accomplished by Freud's contemporary G. Stanley Hall. Since appearing in 1920, this rendition of the lectures has been praised for accurately relaying the concepts, theory and practices behind Freudian psychoanalysis. This edition also contains an introductory preface by Hall, who explains the intellectual context and rival theories present in the-then fledgling scientific discipline of psychology....

Biographie:
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist born on May 6, 1856, in Pr bor, Czechia, and is widely recognized as the founder of psychoanalysis. This clinical method focuses on treating psychological issues by analyzing the unconscious mind through dialogue between patient and psychoanalyst. Freud developed a distinctive theory of mind and human behavior that emphasized the importance of internal conflicts, often stemming from unconscious desires, in shaping mental health. His work influenced a vast array of figures in psychology and beyond, including Carl Jung, Erik Erikson, Alfred Adler, and his own daughter, Anna Freud. Freud s ideas were also shaped by thinkers like Carl Jung, Charles Darwin, and Immanuel Kant.

Freud passed away on September 23, 1939, in Hampstead, London, at the age of 83, leaving a lasting legacy on the fields of psychology and psychiatry....
