Synopsis
In this selection of her father's writings Anna Freud has defined and included, in a single volume, the essential, irreducible elements of psychoanalysis.
She begins with the most appropriate of Freud's own introductory essays, The Question of Lay Analysis, and follows the sequence of themes that he adopted in that work - the meaning of dreams, the concept of the unconscious, instinctual and sexual life, the structure of the personality, defence mechanisms, and symptom-formation.
The result, with her own lucid commentaries supplementing her father's writing in the authorised translations by James Strachey, is a coherent, manageable, and authoritative guide to the principal themes and concepts of psycho-analysis.
The Essentials of Psycho-analysis is the definitive collection of Sigmund Freud's writing. It covers the themes that Freud explored in his work from the meaning of dreams and the concept of the unconscious, instinctual and sexual life to the structure of the personality.
Beautifully written and endlessly fascinating, the pieces collected here are the perfect guide to the principle concepts of psycho-analysis.

External Reviews
"He was possessed of exceptional literary gifts. There can be no question that he was a great writer: to read him is to be beguiled by him . . . his influence on all of us was enormous, and it would be as impossible to return to a pre-Freudian way of thinking as to return to a pre-heliocentric theory of the solar system" - The Times.
"This is an excellent book for early students of Psychoanalysis. Everything important and of value is in here, all Freud's major topics and theories plus sections written by Anna Freud. I loved how concise it was and its jammed with all his most relevant works such as "Three essays on sexuality", " The Id , Ego & Superego" and " The psychopathology of everyday life". It's like a one-stop condensed version of the 24 volumes of standard edition. If your not sure what Freud book to buy this is a sure winner for familiarizing oneself with his theories." - Amazon Review.
