Introducing Freud

Sigmund Freud revolutionised the way we think about ourselves with his discovery of psychoanalysis. However, many of his concepts such as Id, Ego, libido, neurosis, and Oedipus Complex have become part of our everyday vocabulary without us truly understanding their meanings. Introducing Freud is a witty and irreverent book that successfully demystifies Freud's life and ideas. It covers his upbringing in 19th century Vienna, his early medical career, his encounter with cocaine, and the gradual evolution of his theories on the unconscious, dreams, and sexuality. This book's clever artwork and incisive text have made it an international success and one of the most entertaining and informative introductions to the father of psychoanalysis.
