Freud: A Very Short Introduction by Anthony Storr

One of the better VSIs I've read. Storr provides a very thorough summary of Freud's key ideas, suitable for people who have not read any Freud before but also for those familiar with his work.

Storr's own position on Freud is equally well laid out, and while he is very forthcoming on Freud's flaws, he is still quite dedicated to the perceived benefits of psychoanalysis; in and of itself this is interesting for a student or writer.
