Psychopathology of Everyday Lifeis perhaps the most accessible of Freud's books. An intriguing introduction to psychoanalysis, it shows how subconscious motives underlie even the most ordinary mistakes we make in talking, walking and remembering.
The Interpretation of Dreamsrecords Freud's revolutionary inquiry into the meaning of dreams and the power of the unconscious.
Three Contributions of the Theory of Sexis the seminal work in which Freud traces the development of sexual instinct in humans from infancy to maturity.
Wit and Its Relation to the Unconciousexpands on the theories Freud set forth inThe Interpretation of Dreams.It demonstrates how all forms of humor attest to the fundamental orderliness of the human mind.
Totem and Tabooextends Freud's analysis of the individual psyche to society and culture.
The History of the Psychoanalytic Movementmakes clear the ultimate incompatibility of Freud's ideas with those of his onetime followers Adler and Jung.
The Basic Writings of Sigmund Freudis presented here in the translation by Dr. A. A. Brill, who for almost forty years was the standard bearer of Freudian theories in America.
