Pocket Dictionary of Freud

Freud's ideas changed how modern culture understands dreams, desire, childhood, conflict, memory, symptoms, and the unconscious. They also changed across Freud's own lifetime, making his vocabulary both influential and difficult to navigate. The Pocket Dictionary of Freud offers a concise, critical guide to that evolving body of work.Written in clear American English, the book presents 225 alphabetized entries spanning dream interpretation, drive theory, psychosexual development, the topographic and structural models, technique, major case histories, and Freud's writings on art, religion, groups, and civilization. Each entry includes a focused definition, historical or theoretical context, cross-references, and a clinical significance note.Designed for students, clinicians, educators, writers, and curious readers, this compact reference explains Freud without turning contested historical propositions into timeless facts. It is Volume 2 of The Pocket Psychoanalysis Library from ABRAFP International Press.
