<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This edition is based on the third edition (1931) of A.A. Brill's English-language translation ... of the third German edition (1911) of Sigmund Freud's The interpretation of dreams (originally published 1899). It also includes the collected prefaces and translator's preface from Brill's 1913 edition"--Copyright page.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>The Interpretation of Dreams</i> is a seminal work of psychological and cultural heritage and probably the most important of Freud's impressive output. Published in 1899 but revised by Freud himself many times, it outlines his theories on the unconscious and dream symbolism. Though largely discredited and superseded by subsequent developments and research, it retains its place as a hugely influential and significant opus. This new deluxe edition uses A.A. Brill's 1913 translation of the third edition, with a new introduction by expert Dr Richard Stevens, who discusses the context, reception, influence, importance and merits or otherwise of Freud's text and Brill's translation - truly one of the most influential, if controversial, Great Works that Shape Our World. <p/>FLAME TREE's <b>Great Works That Shape Our World</b> is a new series of definitive books drawing on ancient, medieval and modern writing. Offering a fund of essential knowledge, and spell-binding stories it satisfies every facet of human interest: scientific, philosophical, sociological, romantic, dramatic and mysterious.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>The famously influential neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis, <b>Sigmund Freud </b>(1856-1939) was born in a small town in what is now the Czech Republic. In 1886 he set up in private clinical practice in treating 'nervous disorders' and would go on to develop the various techniques associated with psychoanalysis, as well as his famous theories on the unconscious, the human psyche, dreams and sexuality - leading to the publication of many works, of which <i>The Interpretation of Dreams </i> (1899) and <i>The Ego and the Id</i> (1923) are just a few examples. <p/>Previously Head of Psychology at the Open University, <b>Richard Stevens</b> (Introduction) holds a first-class degree in Psychology from the University of Edinburgh as well as an MA (Trinity College Dublin) and a PhD by published work. He has been Chair of the Association for Humanistic Psychology in Britain and helped to found the Consciousness and Experiential Section of the British Psychological Society. His books include <i>Freud and Psychoanalysis</i> and <i>Understanding the Self</i> and he has numerous publications in academic and other journals.
