This book offers an enriching insight into the Freudian theories of psychoanalysis. Presented as a transcript of Freud’s lectures to his students, the work covers a wide range of subject matter in a well-structured way. Fraught with a plethora of examples, the book provides the reader with a unique opportunity to understand the inner-workings on one’s brain while exploring the richness of Freud’s ideation. Freud portrays the working of the subconscious as an intricate interplay of suppressed desire and its manifestation in the subconscious His ability to explore the wide assortment of seemingly small incidences one encounters in childhood and their stunningly flagrant impetus on the mind, truly baffle the reader. Despite the large body of criticism regarding the dearth of research to validate the theories, one can easily relate to the subject matter based on one’s own experiences with our psyche. I would recommend this book as a threshold reading for anyone who wants to access the world of psychological study.
