In this monograph, Freud describes the psychological mechanisms at work within mass movements. According to Freud, the individual in a mass movement acquires a sense of infinite power to act on impulses that would otherwise have been restrained in the individual. This is accompanied by a loss of conscious personality so that the mass is controlled almost exclusively by the unconscious.

Esta obra recoge el resultado de las conferencias de introducción impartidas por Freud entre 1915 a 1917. Si bien hay muchas otras obras que recogen lo expuesto aquí, consideramos que al ser estas conferencias dirigidas a un publico ajeno a la psicología y al psicoanálisis, puede ser de fácil aproximación para un lector casual. Este primer volumen se aproxima a los olvidos, los actos fallidos y las equivocaciones.

"Totem and Taboo: Resemblances Between the Mental Lives of Savages and Neurotics" is a work by Sigmund Freud, published in German in 1913. It is a collection of four essays first published in the journal "Imago" (1912-13), employing the application of psychoanalysis to the fields of archaeology, anthropology, and the study of religion.

Sigmund Freud’s “The Interpretation of Dreams” has been described as one of the most important books of the 20th century. As a result of the perception, however, that it is a lengthy and complex work, Freud embarked on the task of compiling a more brief and simplified version of his ideas on the interpretation of dreams. The results of this labor are presented in "On Dreams". From the time of its appearance, a large and loyal audience of scholars, experts and curious learners have relied on this work for a trusted and systematic exposition of Freud's theory of dreams.

Sigmund Freud delivers five lectures about the “historical survey of the origin and further development of this new method and cure.” He called this method psychoanalysis. In 1909, when he was 53, he was invited by Clark University and delivered these lectures—the first ones he delivered in the United States. In 1910 they were published in the Origin and Development of Psycho-Analysis.

Sigmund Freud's Psychopathology of Everyday Life is surely the most approachable and enjoyable of all his works. By turning the spotlight of his ideas about the nature and function of the unconscious mind onto simple and easily understandable incidents that we have all experienced, such as slips of the tongue, forgetfulness, and the like, he shows us, often in rather humorous ways, just how our unconscious minds have a powerful influence on everything we do.

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) reveals himself in this autobiography, which is simultaneously an account of the early history of psychoanalysis, to have been an outsider from the start. This fascinating account describes the journey of a young, Jewish doctor setting out to find his way in the world of professional medicine, his relationships and collaborations, friendships made and lost and his investigations into cocaine, hypnosis and the cathartic method which contributed to the evolution of his conceptual framework and practices.

According to Freud, our unconscious impulses are not random, but packed with meaning, taking on color, form, and even a storyline. All dreams are actually wish fulfillments, and interpreting them can bridge the gap to the conscious, resulting in more meaningful living.

¿Cuál es el sentido de la religión? ¿Es posible descifrar el enigma de su existencia? Su impacto en la vida diaria del ser humano es fundamental para comprender su posición en este mundo. El gran psicólogo del siglo XX, Sigmund Freud, se encarga de interpretar los orígenes, el desarrollo y el psicoanálisis de la religión —la cual es entendida como él como un «sistema de creencias»—. Sin embargo, el libro también se refiere a la relación del hombre y la cultura, y del importante proceso de su evolución en la naturaleza.

Civilization and Its Discontents is a book by Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. It was written in 1929 and explores what Freud sees as the important clash between the desire for individuality and the expectations of society. The book is considered one of Freud's most important and widely read works, and one of the most influential and studied books in the field of modern psychology. This book has been carefully adapted in to modern English to allow for easy listening. Enjoy!

"La diferenciación de lo psíquico en consciente e inconsciente es la premisa fundamental del psicoanálisis. Le permite, en efecto, llegar a la inteligencia de los procesos patológicos de la vida anímica, tan frecuentes como importantes, y subordinados a la investigación científica. O dicho de otro modo: el psicoanálisis no ve en la conciencia la esencia de lo psíquico, sino tan sólo una cualidad de lo psíquico, que puede sumarse a otras o faltar en absoluto." S. Freud.

While we tend to think of the great thinkers as hailing from Ancient Greece, the 20th century has had more than its fair share of sharp minds. "500 Quotations from the Great Philosophers of the 20th Century" is a collection of reflections, insights, and observations from some of the best brains of that era. A superb book for dipping in and out of, this makes a great gift for anyone with an interest in history or philosophy.

Lo siniestro, forma uno de estos dominios. No cabe duda que dicho concepto está próximo a los de lo espantable, angustiante, espeluznante, pero no es menos seguro que el término se aplica a menudo en una acepción un tanto indeterminada, de modo que casi siempre coincide con lo angustiante en general. Sin embargo, podemos abrigar la esperanza de que el empleo de un término especial (***siniestro***) de notar determinado concepto, será justificado por el hallazgo en él de un núcleo particular.

"Psychopathology of Everyday Life" is a book which passed through four editions in Germany and is considered the author's most popular work. With great ingenuity and penetration, the author throws much light on the complex problems of human behavior, and clearly demonstrates that the hitherto considered impassable gap between normal and abnormal mental states is more apparent than real. This translation is made of the fourth German edition.

Anyone, as Freud tells us in "Reflections on War and Death", forced to react against his own impulses may be described as a hypocrite, whether he is conscious of it or not. One might even venture to assert - it is still Freud's argument - that our contemporary civilization favors this sort of hypocrisy and that there are more civilized hypocrites than truly cultured persons, and it is even a question whether a certain amount of hypocrisy is not indispensable to maintain civilization.

Este ensayo con cuatro capítulos constituye el intento de Freud de aplicar la teoría y el método del psicoanálisis (ya antes descritos por él con fines clínicos) a asuntos de la antropología.

Die ganze "Traumdeutung" in fünf Hörbüchern! "Auf den folgenden Blättern werde ich den Nachweis erbringen, dass es eine psychologische Technik gibt, welche gestattet, Träume zu deuten, und dass bei Anwendung dieses Verfahrens jeder Traum sich als ein sinnvolles psychisches Gebilde herausstellt, welches an angebbarer Stelle in das seelische Treiben des Wachens einzureihen ist." Mit dieser provokanten Behauptung beginnt Sigmund Freud seine «Traumdeutung», jenes Buch, das er selbst zu seinen besten zählte und das heute unbestreitbar zu den großen Meilensteinen der Wissenschaft gehört.

Oublier un nom, casser un bibelot familier, se tromper de clefs, commettre un lapsus, être superstitieux, tous ces petits accidents ordinaires doivent s'interpréter comme des manifestations de l'inconscient. En effet celui-ci travaille sans cesse, infatigablement. Freud a montré comment le rêve était la voie royale d'accès à l'inconscient. Il dessine dans cet ouvrage de 1901 d'autres chemins vers cette part qui échappe à notre contrôle et qui, par ses manifestations, traduit nos désirs.

Sigmund Freud considérait cet ouvrage comme son œuvre fondamentale. Il eut d'ailleurs un succès retentissant. Il est vrai que la proposition de l'auteur est attirante : le rêve, perçu comme l'accomplissement déguisé d'un désir, serait la voie royale qui mène à l'inconscient. À partir du récit de n'importe quel rêve, Freud s'autorise ainsi des interprétations dont le mécanisme utilise de libres associations afin d'accéder aux idées latentes et aux désirs refoulés du narrateur.

Sigmund Freud is the father of psychoanalysis, a clinical method of treatment through dialogue. Modern thought owes him his theoretical description of the structure and functioning of the unconscious, through the discovery of the essential role of transference in the analytic process, the redefinition of sexuality including its infantile forms, the analysis of dreams, symptom formation and the mechanisms of repression. His ideas are still controversed, but his work has suffused the whole of Western thought. The idea of an ego who is not master in its own house shattered intellectual fundations, and its legacy are everywhere in our everyday life.
