Die Traumdeutung (German Edition) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Die Traumdeutung, Freud's landmark work on dream theory, is presented here in German, the original language in which he wrote.

This book represents a crucial step in the career of Sigmund Freud, who gradually developed his theories of mind throughout his lengthy career in practice as a psychoanalyst. Keen to balance practical examples with theoretical explanations, the chapters variously cover dream phenomena and their significance. The overarching belief expressed by Freud is that dreams may be used to consistently explain the neuroses, behaviour and personality of an individual.

This edition of Die Traumdeutung (in English: The Interpretation of Dreams) contains the three original tables, and is composed and formatted in a manner designed for ease of reference. The author's original notes are placed at the end of the text, together with a bibliography which provides stunning insight into the existing psychological and popular literature of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Freud believed that certain characters in fiction were perfect expressions of dreams, and as such cited an eclectic range of written sources.

Scholars and students will be pleased to note that this edition derives chiefly from an updated text of 1914. As such, it includes the additional section wherein Freud interprets various dreams in a completely literal manner.
