Freudian thought permeates virtually every aspect of twentieth century life. To understand Freud is to explore not only his scientific papers - on the psycho-sexual theory of human development, his theory of the mind and the basic techniques of psychoanalysis - but also his vivid writings on art, literature, politics, religion and culture.
'The Freud Reader' is the first single-volume work to bring together in accessible form Freud's ideas as a scientist, humanist, doctor and philosopher. It contains fifty-one key texts, spanning Freud's entire career from early case histories through his work on dreams, essays on sexuality, and on to his late writings, including 'Civilization and its Discontents.'
