Introducing Psychoanalysis (Introducing...) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

How do psychoanalysts conceptualize the mind? Why was Freud so intersted in sex? Is psychoanalysis a science? How does analysis work? In answering these questions, this book offers new insights into the nature of psychoanalytic theory and original ways of describing therapeutic practice. The theory comes alive through Oscar Zarate's insightful and daring illustrations, which enlighten the text. In demystifying and explaining psychoanalysis, this book should be of interest to students, teachers and the general public.

Synopsis:

Psychoanalysis has become the dominant Western paradigm in the understanding of our emotional lives, but little is known about its contemporary theory or practice. This book engages with psychoanalysis as a unified "theory of the unconscious" while acknowledging the heterogeneity of theoretical and therapeutic approaches. It asks questions such as, Why was Freud so interested in sex? Is Psychoanalysis science? How does analysis work? In doing so, the book offers new insights into the nature of psychoanalytic theory.

Icon's unique flagship series, Introducing, continues to offer clarity to subjects and thinkers studied at undergraduate level in universities around the world.
