Publisher's Synopsis
A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud. This edition is an unabridged paperback reprinting of A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud, translated by Stanley Hall. These twenty-eight lectures to laymen are elementary and almost conversational. Freud sets forth with a frankness almost startling the difficulties and limitations of psychoanalysis, and also describes its main methods and results as only a master and originator of a new school of thought can do. These discourses are at the same time simple and almost confidential, and they trace and sum up the results of thirty years of devoted and painstaking research.
