Freud, the easy way...,
By Joe Anthony "Joe Anthony" (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Origin And Development Of Psychoanalysis (Paperback)
Taken from Freud's lectures when he made his famous American visit in 1909 to Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts; this book presents the great man's ideas straight forward and with brevity. Dr. Freud distills the basics of his system of personality in understandable fashion. Great primary source for a high school psychology class or a psychology enthusiast who hasn't time to muddle through Freud's deeper works.

FIVE LECTURES WHICH MAKE AN EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION TO FREUD,
By
This review is from: The Origin And Development Of Psychoanalysis (Hardcover)
These five lectures (also published in English as "The History of the Psychoanalytic Movement") were given (extemporaneously, and then written down immediately afterward) at Clark University in 1910. It constitutes a much briefer introduction to his thought than his Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis or New Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis (The Standard Edition) (Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud).
Here are some representative quotations from the book: "Our hysterical patients suffer from reminiscences. Their symptoms are the remnants and the memory symbols of certain (traumatic) experiences." "So we are forced to the conclusion that the patient fell ill because the emotion developed in the pathogenic situation was prevented from escaping normally, and that the essence of the sickness lies in the fact that these 'imprisoned' emotions undergo a series of abnormal changes." "Psychoanalysis will bring the repressed in mental life to conscious acknowledgement, and everyone who judges it is himself a man who has such repressions, perhaps maintained only with difficulty. It will consequently call forth the same resistances from him as from the patient..." "We arrive here at the same conclusion as in the investigation of dreams---that it is the incompatible, repressed wishes of childhood which lend their power to the creation of symptoms." "If you like, you may regard the psychoanalytic treatment only as a continued education for the overcoming of childhood-remnants."
