{"product_id":"2940015108576","title":"DREAM PSYCHOLOGY: Psychoanalysis for Beginners by Sigmund Freud(with TOC easy navigation)","description":"• The book has been proof-read and corrected for spelling and grammatical errors\u003cbr\u003e• A table of contents with working links to chapters is included\u003cbr\u003e• Quality formatting \u003cbr\u003eThe medical profession is justly conservative. Human life should not be considered as the proper material for wild experiments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConservatism, however, is too often a welcome excuse for lazy minds, loath to adapt themselves to fast changing conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemember the scornful reception which first was accorded to Freud's discoveries in the domain of the unconscious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen after years of patient observations, he finally decided to appear before medical bodies to tell them modestly of some facts which always recurred in his dream and his patients' dreams, he was first laughed at and then avoided as a crank.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe words \"dream interpretation\" were and still are indeed fraught with unpleasant, unscientific associations. They remind one of all sorts of childish, superstitious notions, which make up the thread and woof of dream books, read by none but the ignorant and the primitive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wealth of detail, the infinite care never to let anything pass unexplained, with which he presented to the public the result of his investigations, are impressing more and more serious-minded scientists, but the examination of his evidential data demands arduous work and presupposes an absolutely open mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is why we still encounter men, totally unfamiliar with Freud's writings, men who were not even interested enough in the subject to attempt an interpretation of their dreams or their patients' dreams, deriding Freud's theories and combatting them with the help of statements which he never made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of them, like Professor Boris Sidis, reach at times conclusions which are strangely similar to Freud's, but in their ignorance of psychoanalytic literature, they fail to credit Freud for observations antedating theirs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBesides those who sneer at dream study, because they have never looked into the subject, there are those who do not dare to face the facts revealed by dream study. Dreams tell us many an unpleasant biological truth about ourselves and only very free minds can thrive on such a diet. Self-deception is a plant which withers fast in the pellucid atmosphere of dream investigation.","brand":"Unforgotten Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084210847984,"sku":"2940015108576","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015108576_p0.jpg?v=1763618837","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015108576","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
