Sigmund Freud Psychology Legend




If you visit The Sigmund Freud page on the All About Psychology Website you will be able to access detailed information and resources relating to the man who is widely considered as one of the most influential and controversial minds of the 20th century. Information categories include:

  • Get To Know Sigmund Freud


  • Sigmund Freud Theories


  • Quality Sigmund Freud Links


  • Recommended Sigmund Freud Reading

  • In addition you will be able to access free full text copies of some of Sigmund Freud's most important publications such as The Psychopathology of Everyday Life.

    The Psychopathology of Everyday Life is one of Sigmund Freud's least technical and, therefore, most accessible publications. Drawing on personal anecdotes and real life examples, Freud explores the psychological mechanisms underpinning the forgetting of names and order of words, mistakes in speech and mistakes in reading and writing etc.

    Originally published in 1901, this work by Sigmund Freud was first translated into English by A.A Brill in 1914, who in his introduction provides a clear and concise account of the thinking behind the Psychopathology of Everyday Life.

    "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. This led to a study of the faulty actions of everyday life and later to the publication of the Psychopathology of Everyday Life."

    The Freudian Slip:

    This was the book that gave us what we now refer to as "The Freudian slip". As Freud states in the Psychopathology of Everyday Life:

    "Although the ordinary material of speech of our mother-tongue seems to be guarded against forgetting, its application, however, more often succumbs to another disturbance which is familiar to us as "slips of the tongue."

    Sigmund Freud: Putting Theory Into Practice

    Psychology



    I've always been drawn to the more scientifically rigorous aspects of psychology, so when I studied Freud as an undergraduate I quickly dismissed his theories as interesting but fundamentally flawed. I then watched Adam Curtis' acclaimed series 'The Century of the Self' which in my humble opinion is one of the best documentary series ever made; and although my views on Freud's theories remain unchanged, there is absolutely no doubting their influence.

    The Century of the Self first aired back in 2002 on the BBC and the first of this remarkable four part series (which I highly recommend that you watch below) was publicized as follows:

    Episode 1 Happiness Machines

    "The story of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his American nephew, Edward Bernays. Bernays invented the public relations profession in the 1920s and was the first person to take Freud's ideas to manipulate the masses. He showed American corporations how they could make people want things they didn't need by systematically linking mass-produced goods to their unconscious desires.

    Bernays was one of the main architects of the modern techniques of mass-consumer persuasion, using every trick in the book, from celebrity endorsement and outrageous PR stunts, to eroticising the motorcar.

    His most notorious coup was breaking the taboo on women smoking by persuading them that cigarettes were a symbol of independence and freedom. But Bernays was convinced that this was more than just a way of selling consumer goods. It was a new political idea of how to control the masses. By satisfying the inner irrational desires that his uncle had identified, people could be made happy and thus docile.

    It was the start of the all-consuming self which has come to dominate today's world."

    If you meet anybody who tells you that psychology doesn't matter or that it's irrelevant, get them to watch The Century of the Self and ask them to get back to you!

    Psychology of Love

    Psychology Book of The Month



    I've just updated the psychology book of the month page on the main website. The February entry is The New Psychology of Love by Robert J. Sternberg & Karin Weis (seemed appropriate with Valentine's day just around the corner). This is a very interesting read which draws on a range of psychological theories in discussing the definition and role of love. See following link for full details.
