The Unconscious
by Sigmund Freud - £9.99 Penguin (2005)
paperback
ISBN 13: 9780141183886 | ISBN 10: 0141183888
One of Freud's central achievements was to demonstrate how unacceptable thoughts and feelings are repressed into the unconscious, from where they continue to exert a decisive influence over our lives.
This volume contains a key statement about evidence for the unconscious and how it works, and major essays on the fundamentals of mental functioning. Freud explores how we are torn between the pleasure principle and the reality principle, how often we find ways both to express and to deny what we most fear, and why people so often need fetishes for their sexual satisfaction. These studies briliantly illuminate our most basic drives and how they are transformed.
