En1899 Freud publicaba por primera vez la obra que sería considerada como la más importante, representativa e influyente de su toda su producción: La interpretación de los sueños. Con ella daba inicio a una nueva disciplina, el psicoanálisis, que proponía el modo a través del cual acceder al inconsciente tomando elementos de las experiencias vividas. Por primera vez se introdujo el concepto del Yo y los sueños fueron objeto de un estudio científico. Gracias al método propuesto por Freud, pudieron interpretarse los contenidos de aquellos, generalmente como la representación de deseos latentes.La interpretación de los sueños es un libro fundamental para quienes quieran conocer o profundizar en las teorías del padre de psicoanálisis.

Fascinating. I never know what to make of Freud, monumental genius or self-deceiving doofus. Interesting discussion of his children's dreams, including his later to be famous daughter. Interesting review of previous 19th century work on dreams in the first chapter. Basically, he describes the dream, then he states that it seems meaningless without analysis. Then he gives the analysis. Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "Thus we can see that these authors had worked out their conclusions far better than their arguments."

I tried SO hard to get thru this one and made it about halfway (pg 330) before conceding defeat. I had to accept that my interest just wasn't being held and it was time to move on to another book.
