A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis: Exploring the Unconscious: Insights from Everyday Errors - Softcover
Synopsis
In "A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis," Sigmund Freud delves into the intricacies of psychoanalysis, focusing on the significance of seemingly trivial errors in everyday life. Freud begins by addressing the skepticism surrounding psychoanalysis, emphasizing that these minor errors, such as slips of the tongue and forgetfulness, can reveal deeper unconscious processes. He argues that these errors are not mere accidents but are meaningful acts that provide insight into the unconscious mind. Freud challenges the conventional understanding of the psyche by asserting that unconscious processes play an intermediary role in shaping behavior and thoughts. He highlights the resistance to psychoanalysis due to its controversial claims, particularly regarding the influence of sexual instincts on mental health and cultural achievements. Freud's lectures aim to bridge the gap between psychiatry and psychology by offering a psychological foundation for understanding mental disorders. He emphasizes the importance of self-analysis and the study of one's own psyche to grasp the principles of psychoanalysis. Through examples from literature and everyday life, Freud illustrates how errors can be interpreted to uncover hidden motives and desires. He also discusses the challenges of teaching psychoanalysis, as it relies heavily on subjective experiences and cannot be easily demonstrated like other scientific phenomena. Ultimately, Freud's work seeks to expand the understanding of the human mind by exploring the unconscious, challenging existing prejudices, and offering a new perspective on the relationship between the conscious and unconscious realms.

About the Author
Sigmund Freud né Sigismund Schlomo Freud le 6 mai 1856 à Freiberg (Autriche) (actuelle République tchèque) et mort le 23 septembre 1939 à Londres, est un neurologue autrichien, fondateur de la psychanalyse. Médecin viennois, Freud rencontre plusieurs personnalités importantes pour le développement de la psychanalyse, dont il est le principal théoricien. Son amitié avec Wilhelm Fliess, sa collaboration avec Josef Breuer, l'influence de Jean-Martin Charcot et des théories sur l'hypnose de l'École de la Salpêtrière vont le conduire à repenser les processus psychiques. Ses deux grandes découvertes sont la sexualité infantile et l'inconscient. Elles le conduiront à élaborer plusieurs théorisations des instances psychiques, en premier lieu avec les concepts d'inconscient, de rêve et de névrose, puis il proposera une technique de thérapie, la cure psychanalytique, qu'il définit pour la première fois en 19042. C'est dans le cadre de la cure, dès les Études sur l'hystérie, et particulièrement dans sa première analyse du « cas Dora », que Freud découvre peu à peu l'importance du transfert.
