Los sueños
Contratapa: Sigmud Freud (1856-1939) nació en Friburgo, Moravia, y se educó en Viena, donde pasó casi la totalidad de su larga vida. Su obra ha calado como pocas en la sociedad del siglo XX. El pensamiento freudiano ha traspasado las barreras de la psicología, para extender su influjo a la literatura, las artes plásticas (por ejemplo en el surrealismo), la antropología, las ciencias sociales e incluso la vida cotidiana. Su trabajo acerca de la interpretación de los sueños sigue siendo una pieza de referencia para todos los especialistas en el tema.

About the author
Sigmund Freud
4,361 books8,492 followersDr. Sigismund Freud (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.

Me lo regaló Isaac porque se quedó a dormir en mi casa y me lo empecé porque al día siguiente tenía psicólogo. Mmmm es todo tan ambiguo… o sea tienen sentido algunas cosas y otras creo que son meras casualidades. Me recuerda a los análisis de los cuadros que hacíamos en fundamentos del arte: o sea… vale a lo mejor tiene significado pintar las cortinas verdes pero quizás no lo tiene tampoco. Yo creo que hay que dejarles aire a las cosas para que existan, a la magia, a los sueños y al arte. ¿Pero qué màs decir si yo muero en ese limbo de dejar existir…? Así que gracias Isaac, este libro me gustó sobretodo por los ejemplos de sueños que analiza y no sé por qué me hizo recordar que yo de pequeña quería ser arqueóloga de dinosaurios

Cómo bien sabemos Freud fue la punta de lanza en el psicoanálisis, por lo cual muchas de las ideas plasmadas no están profundizadas y el mismo Freud reconoce su ambigüedad, el es juez, ejecutor y verdugo, ya que el cambiaba su nombre al interpretar sus propios sueños, lo cual considero que hace que pierda cierta objetividad en dichos análisis, el libro contiene aún así información valiosa y rescatable aunque a veces llega a ser redundante con el paso de los capítulos.
