کتاب مختصر و مفیدی بود. جستاری راجع به مفهوم سوپر ایگو.
اگر به کل با نظریه شخصیت فروید، آشنا نیستید و مفهوم سوپر ایگو برایتان کاملاً غریبه هست؛ از این کتاب استفاده زیادی خواهید کرد.
در مقابل اما در نقطه مقابل، از این کتاب چندان چیز جدیدی دستگیرتان نخواهد شد.

کتاب کوتاه و نسبتا خوبیه
سوپر ایگو در حقیقت همون وجدان یا احساس گناهه و تو آدمهای مختلف بروز متفاوتی داره
در بعضی موارد باعث رشد شخصیت فرد و در بعضی موارد منجر به تخریب و آزار رسانی فرد نسبت به خودش میشه

A chapter written by Freud is more insightful than the entirety of this book. And I don’t even agree with him.

The author uses some examples and metaphors to try to illustrate her points. However, there is not one of the concepts debated throughout this book that Priscilla uses as an answer to any of the posed conundrums. In other words concepts are introduced, with no purpose.

I even felt that the psychotherapists were held in a higher regard than their patients.

Moreover the prose is dull, ill constructed and completely oversimplifies interesting concepts in Freudian theory.

I am fully aware this is a general audience book. Even with the benefit of relaxed constraints, it still fell short.

acabo de encontrar una pequeña reseña que hice del libro cuando lo leí allá en el 2022: "me gustó mucho la simpleza con la que expresa las ideas" xd la verdad no recuerdo nada de este libro, sólo recuerdo que me lo había prestado esteban

SuperEgo the self censor of the mind. Lots of things learned and add few values to it. It could be lengthy so know it more. Good read.
