Penguin should be congratulated on this innovative and timely project. (The Observer, London)
This original collection brings together by one of the most influential minds of the twentieth century, the most important writings on the psychology of love. Sigmund Freuds discussions of the ways in which, consciously or unconsciously, sexuality is always psychosexuality (i.e., there is no sexuality without fantasy) have changed social, cultural, and intellectual attitudes toward erotic life. The pieces included here present the development of Freuds now-famous theories about childhood and the transgressive nature of human desire.
The Psychology of Love includes:
Fragment of an Analysis of Hysteria (Dora)
Three Essays on Sexual Theory
On the Sexual Theories of Children
Contributions to the Psychology of Erotic Life
On Female Sexuality
