Freud revolutionized the way we think about ourselves. His psychoanalytic terms such as Id, Ego, libido, neurosis and Oedipus Complex have become part of our everyday vocabulary. But do we know what they really mean? Introducing Freud successfully demystifies the facts of Freud's discovery of psychoanalysis. Irreverent and witty but never trivial, the book tells the story of Freud's life and ideas from his upbringing in 19th-century Vienna, his early medical career and his encounter with cocaine, to the gradual evolution of his theories on the unconscious, dreams and sexuality.

A Good Revision Tool

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 March 2003

Verified Purchase

Although I would not recommend reading this book without having read a little about Freud's theories elsewhere, this is an excellent revision tool for any counselling/psychotherapy student. As with all the books in Icon's "Introducing" series, the book is concise and really brings the subject alive with lots of well-drawn (and often humorous) illustrations which lodge in the memory much better than an overwhelming mass of text. The amount of information contained in this little book is surprisingly large and you will find yourself whipping through the whole in a matter of hours. A quick flip through takes minutes and will give a useful recap.
Some of the theories are not terribly well explained, but overall this is a very good introduction. If you just have a casual interest in Freud, there is no resource more enjoyable.

Graphic guides are amazing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 4 October 2020

Graphic guides are amazing little comic books that concisely and clearly educate you. They are so easy to read and memorable. This one perfectly sums up Freuds life and career and is extremely enjoyable, it's by far my favourite one so far. I have huge compediums on Freud and honestly this was so much easier to read and I learned so much from so few pages.

Like I read the general intro to psychoanalysis by Freud and this briefly explained it in such a way I actually understood Freuds book and works better after reading it.

Refreshing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 28 December 2022

Wonderfully illustrated and written introduction to Freud.
This book presents complex ideas in as easy as can be presented form. The graphics help if you have a visual memory.

I travel by bus quite often and like to read something substantial while on it. This book is a bite-sized knowledge that's easy to take in even if you are reading in a busy environment.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist. So it was mildly amusing for me. I recommend as a silly gift.
