I think being an undergrad Psychology student quite of the ideas mentioned here in the book were already acquainted to me. However, I think you must read this to get a closer look at how could have Freud鈥檚 brain worked, things that he was great at, his interests though the book is not about it at all you will find snippets, lines telling you about Freud which I really liked. However, I don鈥檛 think I appreciate it as much as I do the Byron one even if it is only one chapter I read there.
Captures the essence and basics of Freud's work and also its importance in the evolution of medicine and psychotherapy as we know it today.
Although Freud has been and continues to be criticized for some concepts considered obsolete today, it would be absurd not to take into account the contribution he has brought to the evolution of humanity.
Since I started studying psychology, I've been captivated by Freud's life and work. As I delved deeper into the field, my fascination with his theories only grew. I'll admit that I'm a bit biased in favor of Freud, but it's because I've spent years carefully studying and analyzing his contributions. As a practicing psychologist, I find Freud's insights to be absolutely essential. Every day, I draw on the tools he's given us to understand the roots of mental illness and to help my clients find a path towards healing.
Contemporary psychologists have critiqued Sigmund Freud's ideas as outdated, often accusing him of espousing sexist views or being untruthful. Given these criticisms, it is reasonable to question why Freud's work remains highly regarded. Brett Kahr has briefly summarised some of Freud's key concepts in his book:
Dangers of success: Freud believed that excessive success could lead to feelings of guilt and anxiety, as well as fear of failure in the future. Freudian slip: This is when a person unintentionally says something that reveals an unconscious thought or desire. Freud believed that these slips could provide valuable insights into a person's psyche. Confidentiality: Freud emphasized the importance of patient confidentiality in psychoanalysis, and believed that creating a safe and secure environment for patients was crucial to the success of the therapy. Love: Freud saw love as a fundamental human drive that could be both positive and negative, and he believed that understanding a person's experiences of love was essential to understanding their psychology. Sibling rivalry: Freud believed that sibling relationships were a crucial part of a person's development, and that feelings of jealousy and competition between siblings could have long-lasting effects on their personality. The past: Freud believed that experiences from the past could have a significant impact on a person's present behavior and personality, and that exploring these experiences in therapy could be an important part of healing and growth. Jokes: Freud saw humor and jokes as a way for people to express unconscious thoughts and desires in a socially acceptable way, and believed that analyzing a person's humor could provide insights into their psychology. Narcissism: Freud described narcissism as an excessive love for oneself, and believed that it could be a defense mechanism to protect oneself from feelings of inadequacy or insecurity.
This is a good introduction to Freud and his ideas.
It鈥檚 written by someone clearly passionate about his ideas, but also aware of his limitations.
The content applies well to the problems of modern life and is easily digestible. It makes a good case for why Freud is relevant and cannot be dismissed.
However, if you鈥檙e already familiar with Freud and psychoanalytic theory, it doesn鈥檛 really add anything new and reads like many introductory texts.
I read Anthony Storr鈥檚 鈥淔reud: A Very Short Introduction鈥� a couple of years ago, which at the time was very insightful and inspiring for me. I鈥檇 imagine this book could have a similar effect for someone who is new to Freud and his ideas and wants to learn more.
I never read any of Freuds works, but that small book gave me a general idea about the concepts of Freud philosophy鈥檚 in psychology, and enthusiasm to read his works. . The author expressed his admiration and highlighted the basics lessons that Freud bequeathed to us. While each lesson was supported with Freud鈥檚 own notes.. . (Again these type of books gives you pretty broad idea and it aims at raising reader鈥檚 curiosity and push him/her to dig deeper into Freud鈥檚 works)
Makes a number of his theories accessible in small bite-sized chapters and certainly helped me frame a few situations in my day to day life and with friends.
Cartea aceasta face un sumar foarte profund si pe intelesul tuturor ale ideile de baza ale practicii psihanalitice a lui Freud. Mi-a placut mult, recomand.
