| Abstract: |
'The interpretation of Dreams' is generally agreed to be Freud's major and most original work.
By a detailed investigation of these universal phenomena he discovered a way of exploring the unconscious, recognized that dreams, like neurotic symptoms, are products of a conflict and compromise between conscious and uncounscious impulses and was able to classifiy the differences between the primary and secondary processes of thought - between the modes of functioning in the unconscious and conscious regions of the mind. In addition, Freud was led to revise his methods of treatment for neurotic patients by introducing the valuable technical adjunct of dream-interpretation and to develop, largely based on this remarkable work, his revolutionary theories of the Oedipus complex and of the profund importance of infantile life and sexuality for the development of adults. Although depressed by its initially cool reception, Freud wrote in the Preface of the third English edition : 'It contains, even according to my present-day judgement, the most valuable of all the discoveries it has been my good fortune to make. Insight such as this falls to one's lot but once in a lifetime.' |
