Sigmund Freud

First published in 1920, "Beyond the Pleasure Principle", by world-renowned psychologist Sigmund Freud, marks a major turning point in the author's theoretical approach. Prior to this work, Freud's examination of the forces that drive people focused primarily on the sexual drive, or Eros of man, the life instinct to reproduce that is innate in all humans. Freud had attributed most of human behavior to the seeking of sexual pleasure. However, in "Beyond the Pleasure Principle" Freud moves away from these creative and pleasure-seeking impulses as the only motivator of human action to instead examine the impact on human psychology of the death drive, or Thanatos, which Freud describes as "an urge inherent in all organic life to restore an earlier state of things". Freud still believes the pleasure principle is the more dominant force, but argues as well that unpleasant experiences have a great influence on the mind and are often the source of repetitive, compulsive behaviors. Freud also revisits his earlier theory that dreams are a form of wish fulfillment as he examines the reliving of traumatic events in dreams. One of Freud's most controversial and influential works, "Beyond the Pleasure Principle" remains an important and fascinating read. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Central to Sigmund Freud's philosophy on psychoanalysis is the idea that dreams give a window into one's unconscious desires. This is the principal argument of his groundbreaking work "The Interpretation of Dreams", published in 1899. However, realizing the incredibly technical and dense nature of that more detailed work, Freud felt that a simpler and more accessible derivation of his theories was necessary in order to popularize his ideas and to make them more understandable to the average person. "On Dreams", published in 1901 and translated into English in 1914, is the result of that endeavor and it is executed with masterful effect. "On Dreams" is a straightforward and simplified explanation of Freud's theories on dreams and their meanings, such as condensation, dramatization, displacement, repression, the three classes of dreams, and how dreams are affected by the events of the previous day. "On Dreams" serves as a great place to start for those who wish to learn more about the meanings of their own dreams, as well as how Freud's influential and important ideas helped to form the field of psychoanalysis.

There exists, of course, few more famous figures in the field of psychology than Sigmund Freud. As the founding father of psychoanalysis, or the clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst, his impact on the field of psychology cannot be overstated. Based on a series of lectures given at the University of Vienna in 1915, "Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis" builds upon Freud's earlier work "Five Lectures on Psycho-Analysis" to provide a comprehensive overview of the pioneer's work in the field of psychoanalysis. G. Stanley Hall describes in his preface that "these twenty-eight lectures to laymen are elementary and almost conversational. Freud sets forth with a frankness almost startling the difficulties and limitations of psychoanalysis, and also describes its main methods and results as only a master and originator of a new school of thought can do. These discourses are at the same time simple and almost confidential, and they trace and sum up the results of thirty years of devoted and painstaking research." "Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis" is a must read for those interested in the field of psychology and Freud's contribution to it. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Zigmund Frejd i Karl Jung - dva velichajshikh predstavitelja analiticheskoj psikhologii XX veka. Frejd byl osnovatelem etogo techenija, okazavshego ogromnoe vlijanie na filosofiju, sotsiologiju, antropologiju, literaturu i iskusstvo dvadtsatogo stoletija. Interes k teorii Frejda ne ugasaet i v nashi dni. Karl Jung byl vernym uchenikom Zigmunda Frejda i schitalsja ego "prestolonaslednikom", odnako zatem mezhdu nimi proizoshel konflikt, v rezultate kotorogo Jung pokinul Frejda. Prichinoj konflikta stalo razlichnoe ponimanie motivov povedenija cheloveka - Frejd schital, chto v ego osnove lezhat, glavnym obrazom, podavlennye seksualnye zhelanija; Jung otvodil seksualnosti gorazdo menshuju rol. Soglasno predstavlenijam Junga, povedenie cheloveka bolee zavisit ot "arkhetipicheskikh obrazov" i "kollektivnogo bessoznatelnogo", chem ot seksualnoj energii "libido". V knige, predstavlennoe vashemu vnimaniju, soderzhatsja naibolee znachimye proizvedenija Frejda i Junga, v kotorykh daetsja otvet na vopros, chto dvizhet chelovekom v ego povedenii. Krome togo, privodjatsja vospominanija Junga o Frejde, gde chitatel najdet ljubopytnye svedenija ob etom velikom psikhoanalitike, a takzhe poznakomitsja s tem, kak Jung objasnjaet prichiny proizoshedshego mezhdu nimi konflikta.

Psikhoanaliticheskoe esse "Ja i Ono" posvjascheno odnoj iz samykh tainstvennykh oblastej chelovecheskoj psikhiki - vzaimodejstviju soznatelnogo i bessoznatelnogo. Frejd raskryvaet izoschrennye mekhanizmy, s pomoschju kotorykh "Ono", olitsetvorjajuschee glubinnyj uroven bessoznatelnykh vlechenij, upravljaet nashim soznatelnym "Ja", sozdavaja pri etom illjuziju, budto "Ja" samostojatelno prinimaet reshenija. V sbornik takzhe voshli rabota "Po tu storonu printsipa udovolstvija", v kotoroj avtor rassuzhdaet o paradoksalnom "vlechenii k smerti", zalozhennom v kazhdom zhivom suschestve, i esse "Moisej i monoteizm".

Avstrijskij psikholog i psikhoanalitik Zigmund Frejd (1856-1939) vot uzhe bolee sta let ostaetsja odnim iz samykh vlijatelnykh myslitelej novogo vremeni. Knigi Frejda chitajut kak populjarnuju belletristiku, nesmotrja na to chto v nikh issledujutsja slozhnye, spetsializirovannye temy, svjazannye so strukturoj chelovecheskogo soznanija i lichnosti. I est bezuslovnaja logika v tom, chto Zigmunda Frejda nominirovali na Nobelevskuju premiju ne tolko po meditsine, no i po literature. Ni odnoj on, vprochem, ne poluchil, i slozhno skazat, v kakom iz sluchaev bolshe nespravedlivosti. Dve raboty, kotorye voshli v knigu, v sovokupnosti dolzhny predstavit chitatelju dva glavnykh etapa nauchnoj i pisatelskoj dejatelnosti Frejda. Esli "Psikhopatologija..." posvjaschena projavlenijam podsoznatelnogo v zhizni otdelnogo cheloveka, to "Totem i tabu" - eto svoego roda antropologicheskaja entsiklopedija, predmetom kotoroj javljaetsja ne otdelnaja lichnost, no chelovechestvo kak soobschestvo i chelovek kak biologicheskij vid. Tsentralnaja tema etoj raboty - kollektivnoe soznanie, kollektivnoe bessoznatelnoe i kollektivnaja mifologija. Perevod s nemetskogo Jakova Kogana, Moiseja Vulfa.
