DREAM PSYCHOLOGY
Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams introduced his ground-breaking theory of the unconscious and explored how interpreting dreams can reveal the true nature of humanity.
Regarded as Freud's most significant work, this classic text helped establish the discipline of psychology and is the foundational work in the field of psychoanalysis.
The complexity, mystery, and confusion of dreams have fascinated humanity since the dawn of man. For Sigmund Freud, however, dreams were not so much complex and mysterious as they were insightful and ripe for examination. In Freud's view, dreams are not a random collection of images and mental stimuli - they are the meaningful interplay of wish fulfilment and psychological inhibition. In his work on dream psychology and interpretation, Freud explores this interplay that fascinated him so. He examines what we are really experiencing when we dream and what these sequences of nocturnal hallucination say about our own lives and outlook on the world. Writing at the dawn of a new century, Freud's contributions to the spheres of psychology and psychotherapy were already growing in influence, both within his native Vienna and further afield. Revered by many, and reviled by some, the ideas of Sigmund Freud continue to make their presence felt in the psychological understanding of the present day.

FREUD SIGMUND
Sigmund Freud 1856-1939 fue un neurólogo austríaco y el fundador del psicoanálisis, una revolucionaria teoría y método terapéutico para explorar el inconsciente humano. Nació en Freiberg, en el Imperio Austrohúngaro actual República Checa , y más tarde se trasladó con su familia a Viena, donde desarrolló la mayor parte de su carrera. Freud propuso que gran parte del comportamiento humano está motivado por deseos inconscientes, especialmente de naturaleza sexual y agresiva. Introdujo conceptos fundamentales como el ello, el yo y el superyó, así como el famoso complejo de Edipo. Su obra más influyente, La interpretación de los sueños 1899 , sentó las bases del psicoanálisis como disciplina. Aunque sus teorías han sido ampliamente debatidas y en parte superadas por la psicología moderna, su impacto en la cultura, la literatura y el pensamiento del siglo XX es incuestionable. Murió en Londres en 1939, tras exiliarse debido al ascenso del nazismo.
