Product Description

Product Description

Introduces the complex processes which occur in the psyche from the first days of a person's life and shows how a range of mental and somatic disorders originate. The findings are based on a method of hypnoid analysis which facilitates recall of infant experiences and emotions with their physical responses. The text aims to expand understanding of the unconscious areas of the psyche and provide insights into the sometimes baffling behaviour of children, illuminate moments of self-recognition, and show how social and cultural conflicts and disturbances originate in the psychological conflicts and disturbances of individuals.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Unknown Self, 5 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Unknown Self (Paperback)
I found this rather unremarkable looking book nestling amongst the grey wilting expanse of Philosophy and Psychology volumes at my local library. Little did I know when I extracted this book from the academic gruel it was surrounded by that for the next four nights I would be totally involved in what offers a real insight into human behaviour and would be forced to buy a copy for myself.
The book was extraordinarily readable for one based around psychoanalysis and was almost eradicated of the eye watering jargon one associates with this type of text. One of the main reasons the book is so easy to become absorbed in is because it starts at the very beginning. Frankel begins in the womb taking us on a trip through childhood, he also litters his chapters with the most extraordinary case studies and in turn brings an element of story telling to the psychological basis of the book making it all the more palatable for an Arts student like me.
Unlike many other texts that deal with this topic there is also no gender bias on Frankelâs part. Frankel gives as much emphasis to the female as the male, discussing the Oedipus in terms of both sexes.
The Unknown Self is a book anybody can read and will take up and read over and over again. If you have narcissistic tendencies, and I am unaware of any human who doesnât, you will love this book, love the insight it gives into being human and love the reaction you get from your Auntie when you tell her unhealthy obsession with cleaning can be traced back to the Anal Libidinous stage of her child hood deveolpment
