James Strachey Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

The Standard Edition of the complete works of the father of psychoanalysis - the only definitive paperback edition on the market. Translated from the German under the General Editorship of James Strachey; in collaboration with Anna Freud; assisted by Alix Strachey and Alan Tyson.

Freud approved the overall editorial plan, specific renderings of key words and phrases, and the addition of valuable notes, from bibliographical and explanatory. Many of the translations were done by Strachey himself; the rest were prepared under his supervision. The result was to place the Standard Edition in a position of unquestioned supremacy over all other existing versions.Newly designed in a uniform format, each new paperback in the Standard Edition opens with a biographical essay on Freud's life and work--along with a note on the individual volume--by Peter Gay, Sterling Professor of History at Yale.

Jedna z nejslavnějších knih Sigmunda Freuda se zabývá naší lidskou kulturou, která je založena na potlačování vrozených pudů člověka, což mu znemožňuje realizaci dlouhodobého štěstí a je příčinou mnoha duševních nemocí. Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) byl vídeňský neurolog, psycholog a zakladatel psychoanalýzy. Jeho teorie měly a stále mají hluboký vliv na psychologii, filozofii, antropologii, umění a další odvětí.

Setting forth in rich detail Freud's new theory of anxiety, Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety (1926) is evidence for one of them. In rethinking his earlier work on the subject, Freud saw several types of anxiety at work in the mind and here argues that anxiety causes repression, rather than the other way around.

These two short accounts, written respectively in 1909 and 1926, are a good introduction to psychoanalysis for the general reader, for whom they were originally prepared.
