Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex by Sigmund Freud.In this little book Freud discusses three areas of human sexuality: 1. Sexual perversions or aberrations. In this essay, Freud concludes that "a disposition to perversions is an original and universal disposition of the human sexual instinct and that...this postulated constitution, containing the germs of all the perversions, will only be demonstrable in children“. 2. His second essay on "The Infantile Sexuality", argues that children have sexual urges, from which adult sexuality only gradually emerges via psychosexual development. Looking at children, Freud identified many forms of infantile sexual emotions, including thumb sucking, autoeroticism, and sibling rivalry in childhood. 3. In his third essay, "The Transformations of Puberty", Freud formalized the distinction between the 'fore-pleasures' of infantile sexuality and the 'end-pleasure' of sexual intercourse.Featured on The Theory of Psychoanalysis.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Dream Psychology by Sigmund Freud.Not a few serious-minded students, [...], have been discouraged from attempting a study of Freud's dream psychology. In those days, Freud could not leave out any detail likely to make his extremely novel thesis evidentially acceptable to those willing to sift data. - Freud himself, however, realized the magnitude of the task which the reading of his magnum opus imposed upon those who have not been prepared for it by long psychological and scientific training and he abstracted from that gigantic work the parts which constitute the essential of his discoveries.Featured on The Theory of Psychoanalysis.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Reflections on War and Death by Sigmund Freud.Anyone, as Freud tells us in Reflections on War and Death , forced to react against his own impulses may be described as a hypocrite, whether he is conscious of it or not. One might even venture to assert—it is still Freud's argument—that our contemporary civilisation favours this sort of hypocrisy and that there are more civilised hypocrites than truly cultured persons, and it is even a question whether a certain amount of hypocrisy is not indispensable to maintain civilisation.Featured on The Theory of Psychoanalysis.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Psychopathology of Everyday Life by Sigmund Freud.Professor Freud developed his system of psychoanalysis while studying the so-called borderline cases of mental diseases, such as hysteria and compulsion neurosis. By discarding the old methods of treatment and strictly applying himself to a study of the patient's life he discovered that the hitherto puzzling symptoms had a definite meaning, and that there was nothing arbitrary in any morbid manifestation. Psychoanalysis always showed that they referred to some definite problem or conflict of the person concerned. It was while tracing back the abnormal to the normal state that Professor Freud found how faint the line of demarcation was between the normal and neurotic person, and that the psychopathologic mechanisms so glaringly observed in the psychoneuroses and psychoses could usually be demonstrated in a lesser degree in normal persons.Featured on The Theory of Psychoanalysis.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
