En este libro Sigmund Freud reflexiona sobre El hombre de arena de E. T. A. Hoffmann. Lo siniestro es uno de los textos mas sorprendentes y complejos de la literatura freudiana; un profundo analisis sobre un abundante material linguistico cuya sintaxis es coherente con la que Freud va elaborando a partir de otros discursos Relaciona el tratamiento del doble, o del otro yo, con las estaciones del miedo y del secreto, con los automatas, lo oculto, la frontera continua entre la desesperacion y la demencia hoffmanniana.

Totem y tabu es el nombre que Sigmund Freud eligio para su libro escrito en 1913. Fue el primer libro escrito por Freud dedico a la religion.

Psicopatologia de la vida cotidiana es una de las obras mas amenas de Freud. En ella existen pocos terminos "dificiles" por lo que se la recomiendo a todos aquellos que les interese este tema. Freud habla de muchos temas y da sus opiniones, pero muchas cosas no estan comprobadas por lo que al leer el libro no lo debemos tomar como dogmatico ni mucho menos, simplemente una manera de ver la vida un tanto diferente.

Dreams, in Freud's view, are all forms of "wish fulfillment" - attempts by the unconscious to resolve a conflict of some sort, whether something recent or something from the recesses of the past (later in Beyond the Pleasure Principle, Freud would discuss dreams which do not appear to be wish-fulfillment). Because the information in the unconscious is in an unruly and often disturbing form, a "censor" in the preconscious will not allow it to pass unaltered into the conscious. During dreams, the preconscious is more lax in this duty than in waking hours, but is still attentive: as such, the...

'Totem and Taboo' began life as four separate essays published by Sigmund Freud between 1912 and 1913. Freud was struck by the strong parallels between the behavior of neurotics, children and pre-literate tribal peoples (which he termed 'primitives'), and boldly extended his psycho-analytic theories into the fields of social psychology and anthropology. His belief that humanity's distant past was moulded by the deepest urges of the human psyche led him to propose an astonishing theory which brought together such disparate concepts as Animism, the Primal Horde, Totemism, Cannibalism, and the...
