Ensayos sobre la vida sexual y la teoría de las neurosis
Ninguna teoría acerca del funcionamiento y estructura de la mente ha ejercido tanta influencia ni ha adquirido un estatus tan preponderante como la doctrina psicoanalítica, cuyas categorías y explicaciones no tardaron en convertirse en núcleo de un modo radicalmente nuevo de entender la realidad psíquica que ha marcado de forma notable el siglo XX. Los quince trabajos que integran estos ENSAYOS SOBRE LA VIDA SEXUAL Y LA TEORÍA DE LAS NEUROSIS, ordenados en un solo conjunto por Sigmund Freud, estudian el origen sexual de las neurosis, el papel represor de las instituciones culturales sobre el instinto, la bisexualidad como estructura congénita del hombre, el complejo de Edipo, etcétera.

About the author
Sigmund Freud
4,528 books8,669 followersDr. Sigismund Freud, M.D. (University of Vienna)—later changed to Sigmund—was a neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, who created an entirely new approach to the understanding of the human personality. He is regarded as one of the most influential—and controversial—minds of the 20th century.
In 1873, Freud began to study medicine at the University of Vienna. After graduating, he worked at the Vienna General Hospital. He collaborated with Josef Breuer in treating hysteria by the recall of painful experiences under hypnosis. In 1885, Freud went to Paris as a student of the neurologist Jean Charcot. On his return to Vienna the following year, Freud set up in private practice, specialising in nervous and brain disorders. The same year he married Martha Bernays, with whom he had six children.
Freud developed the theory that humans have an unconscious in which sexual and aggressive impulses are in perpetual conflict for supremacy with the defences against them. In 1897, he began an intensive analysis of himself. In 1900, his major work The Interpretation of Dreams was published in which Freud analysed dreams in terms of unconscious desires and experiences.
In 1902, Freud was appointed Professor of Neuropathology at the University of Vienna, a post he held until 1938. Although the medical establishment disagreed with many of his theories, a group of pupils and followers began to gather around Freud. In 1910, the International Psychoanalytic Association was founded with Carl Jung, a close associate of Freud's, as the president. Jung later broke with Freud and developed his own theories.
After World War One, Freud spent less time in clinical observation and concentrated on the application of his theories to history, art, literature and anthropology. In 1923, he published The Ego and the Id, which suggested a new structural model of the mind, divided into the 'id, the 'ego' and the 'superego'.
In 1933, the Nazis publicly burnt a number of Freud's books. In 1938, shortly after the Nazis annexed Austria, Freud left Vienna for London with his wife and daughter Anna.
Freud had been diagnosed with cancer of the jaw in 1923, and underwent more than 30 operations. He died of cancer on 23 September 1939.

no sé bien por qué lo leí. estimo que me falta mucha bibliografía para terminar de entender estos ensayos que de todos modos son muy interesantes en varios aspectos.

"Una de las más evidentes injusticias socials es la de que el standard cultural exija de todas las personas la misma conducta sexual, que, fácil de observar para aquellas cuya constitución se lo permite, impone a otros los más graves sacrificios psíquicos" (p. 31)
"El super-yo, o sea la conciencia moral que actúa en él, puede, pues, mostrarse dura, cruel e implacable contra el yo por él guardado. El imperativito categórico de Kant es, por tanto, el heredero directo del complejo de Edipo". (p.227)
