In regards to the Kindle edition...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (Kindle Edition)
This is a great book, but I would advise against this edition for your Kindle. After the first 10% there is an inexcusable amount of typos. It makes for a frustrating read of what would otherwise be a very engaging and beneficial work.

Intriguing, Logical, and Plausible (!),
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)
This is a fantastic, captivating book. The theories and ideas outlined in "Psychopathology of Everyday Life" are logical and seem more applicable, plausible, and realistic (i.e. more easily seen in everyday life) than some of Freud's other theories. Highly recommended for anyone interested in psychology, character, human behavior, or Freud's work. Covers a lot about human memory. A very good resource to have.

Understanding 'Freudian Slips'.,
By
This review is from: The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (Paperback)
This book has possibly done more than any other book to popularise psychology. Freud wrote it deliberately for the ordinary reader at the turn of the 20th century and, as fresh editions appeared, constantly added new illustrations and anecdotes without changing his basic theories.
Here, with brief examples, we have the simple but convincing explanations of things that are familiar to everybody: the sudden forgetting of proper names, of sets of words, impressions and intentions, childhood and 'screen' memories; bungled actions and other errors; and all those little, significant mistakes of tongue and pen that have come to be called 'Freudian slips'.
