Description: | Select Guide Rating A brand new transaction of the "Psychopathology of Everyday Life" - one of 15 volumes in the new Freud series commissioned for the Penguin classics. This edition aims to reach beyond the institiutional/clinical market. This collection of writings is famous for giving us the phrase ''Freudian slip''. It also builds up a strong social history of Vienna and the middle-class social milieu of Freud and his patients. Through a series of case histories, some no longer than a few lines long, Freud explores how it is that normal people make slips of speech, writing, reading and remembering in their everyday life, and reveals what it is that they betray about the existence of a sub-text or subliminal motive to our conscious actions. As he explains, most of these slips tend of be of a relatively anodyne nature, but some are a little more sinister, particularly those where pride or thwarted love are concerned... |
