What Freud Really Said
نویسنده
چکیده
Freud wrote over three and a half million words. He was a master of style and presentation and had something worthwhile to say on every page. Frequently he was magnificent, as for example in his First Introductory Lectures, but it would be expecting too much of anyone to suppose that in such a large volume of writing he would always be clear. Moreover, he was introducing new and difficult concepts and although many of these are now assimilated in popular thinking, they are not always easy to appreciate fully. In particular, unless they are presented in suitable order, the reader may feel there is little basis for some of his most important concepts, like, for instance, that of castration anxiety. There is thus a definite need for introductory, orientating works about psychoanalysis. In a previous generation , Crichton-Miller and recently amongst others, the late J. A. C. Brown with his Pelican, Freud and the Post-Freudians, have successfully attempted to provide such texts.
