An Outline of Psychoanalysis (Penguin Modern Classics)

"Read this short book if you want a succinct, enlightening and honest introduction to psychoanalysis. The last major piece of work completed by Freud in his 80s it reveals in an elegant manner the fine nuances of psychoanalysis, without resorting to naive simplifications and exaggerated claims. Readin gthis book, you will realize the titanic force of Freud's thinking and the dazzling originality of his ideas. This is far from the caricature of a straw-man which his critics enjoy attacking."
