Summary

This classic edition of The Basic Writings of Sigmund Freud includes complete texts of six works that have profoundly influenced our understanding of human behavior, presented here in the translation by Dr. A. A. Brill, who for almost forty years was the standard-bearer of Freudian theories in America.

* Psychopathology of Everyday Life is perhaps the most accessible of Freud's books. An intriguing introduction to psychoanalysis, it shows how subconscious motives underlie even the most ordinary mistakes we make in talking, writing, and remembering.

* The Interpretation of Dreams records Freud's revolutionary inquiry into the meaning of dreams and the power of the unconscious.

* Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex is the seminal work in which Freud traces the development of sexual instinct in humans from infancy to maturity.

* Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious expands on the theories Freud set forth in The Interpretation of Dreams . It demonstrates how all forms of humor attest to the fundamental orderliness of the human mind.

* Totem and Taboo extends Freud's analysis of the individual psyche to society and culture.

* The History of Psychoanalytic Movement makes clear the ultimate incompatibility of Freud's ideas with those of his onetime followers Adler and Jung.
