FREUD -THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS - CLASSIC WORLD LITERATURE
Translated by A.A. Brill, with an Introduction by Stephen Wilson.
Sigmund Freud's audacious masterpiece, The Interpretation of Dreams, has never ceased to stimulate controversy since its publication in 1900.
Freud is acknowledged as the founder of psychoanalysis, the key to unlocking the human mind, a task which has become essential to man's survival in the twentieth century, as science and technology have rushed ahead of our ability to cope with their consequences.
Freud saw that man is at war with himself and often unable to tolerate too much reality. He propounded the theory that dreams are the contraband representations of the beast within man, smuggled into awareness during sleep. In Freudian interpretation, the analysis of dreams is the key to unlocking the secrets of the unconscious mind.
SIGMUND FREUD
Sigismund Freud 1856 - 1939 , better known as Sigmund Freud, was an Austrian psychiatrist who founded the psychoanalytic school of psychology. If some of his ideas, always controversial, have now fallen out of favour, it does not diminish the impact that his thinking has had on psychology, therapy and, indeed, culture in general. His favourite book, 'The Interpretation of Dreams', remains the most significant work on the subject matter, even if some of the underlying theories have been discredited.

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.
