About this listen

 In Psychopathology of Everyday Life, Professor Freud unveils the intricate world of psychoanalysis by examining borderline cases of mental illness, including hysteria and compulsive neurosis. Through a meticulous study of his patients lives, Freud demonstrates that seemingly arbitrary symptoms harbor profound meanings, each linked to specific conflicts within the individual. His groundbreaking work reveals that the boundary between normal and neurotic behavior is surprisingly thin, with the mechanisms of psychopathology often appearing in milder forms in everyday people. This exploration led to his influential book, which has seen four editions in Germany and is celebrated as Freuds most accessible work. With keen insight and clarity, he addresses the complex nature of human behavior, challenging the misconception of a rigid divide between normal and abnormal mental states. This edition is based on the fourth German edition, adapted for English readers while retaining the essence of Freuds original insights.Copyright Politics, Philosophy, Religion
