Freudian Psychology

In Aforismi e Pensieri, Sigmund Freud esplora l'animo umano e analizza i comportamenti, i desideri, i sogni, le frustrazioni e le fobie...

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.

Las personas que realizan actos obsesivos o desarrollan un ceremonial pertenecen, junto con aquellas que sufren de representaciones o impulsos obsesivos, a una unidad clínica especial, designada habitualmente con el nombre de neurosis obsesiva. Mas no ha de pretenderse derivar de tal denominación la peculiaridad de esta dolencia, pues en rigor también otrosdistintos fenómenos psicopatológicos presentan el llamado carácter obsesivo.
