The Psychopathology of Everyday Life

En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the psychological foundations of everyday errors, this work delves into the phenomena of slips of the tongue and memory lapses. Freud presents engaging anecdotes that illustrate how these mistakes reveal deeper psychological truths, all while avoiding complex jargon. Emphasizing concepts like 'switch words' and 'verbal bridges,' the book holds significance beyond psychopathology, impacting modern linguistics, semantics, and philosophy. Its accessible approach makes it a key text in understanding the interplay between language and the unconscious mind.
