The Interpretation of Dreams (Concise Edition) (Paperback)

Paperback. Freud's seminal work helped shaped the cultural landscape of the world today. Now in a digestible, pocket format for the modern reader. The Interpretation of Dreams is an essential work of psychological and cultural heritage and probably the most important of Freud's impressive output. Published in 1899 but revised by Freud himself many times, it outlines his theories on the unconscious and dream symbolism. Though largely superseded by subsequent developments and research, it retains its place as a hugely influential and significant opus. This new compact, abridged edition uses A.A. Brill's 1913 translation of the third edition, with an introduction by expert Dr Richard Stevens, who discusses the context, reception, influence, importance and merits or otherwise of Freud's text and Brill's translation.

New, compact, abridged edition of The Interpretation of Dreams, one of Freud's most important contributions to modern thought and a seminal work of psychological theory.
