This is probably the best of the primers on classical Freudian psychoanalysis that I read. The author really knows his onions and was able to provide a very clear and accessible overview of all the main classical Freudian psychoanalytical concepts. I especially liked his account of personality/psychosexual development and character formation which draws on the work of Sigmund Freud and Karl Abraham, also his fulsome description of the main defence mechanisms and their relation to psychopathology. The book is very well written and very accessible and a great resource for those training in psychotherapy with a psychodynamic orientation.
