Publisher's Synopsis
Instinct and the Unconscious: A Contribution to a Biological Theory of the Psycho-Neuroses is a book written by W.H.R. Rivers and published in 1920. The book explores the relationship between instinct and the unconscious mind, and how they contribute to the development of psycho-neuroses. Rivers argues that the unconscious mind plays a significant role in human behavior and that instincts are innate, biological drives that influence our actions. He also discusses the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, and how they relate to his own biological theories. The book is a landmark work in the field of psychology and is still studied and referenced today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
