This clear and accessible guide provides an essential introduction for anyone interested in Sigmund Freud, his life and ideas, and the continuing importance of his work.

"An enjoyable and informative introduction to Freud’s work, illustrated with pithy examples of his own reasoning which artfully encourages the reader to learn more about psychoanalysis’s founding theorist and practitioner" – Susie Orbach, whose most recent book is In Therapy – The Unfolding Story

"This book works through the fascinating string of ideas which Freud produced in trying to find access to the hidden unconscious area of the mind by which we all live. With this introductory text Janet Sayers provides comprehensive coverage of the many areas of human life and experience considered by Freud including his false starts, detours, and ways in which both he and his followers addressed issues in developmental and abnormal psychology as well as in the arts, social sciences, and in religion too." – Bob Hinshelwood, psychoanalyst and emeritus professor, University of Essex
