Understanding Freud, basics of his psyychoanalysis theory

WoollyRedHat · 2013-05-01 13:21:39

Hi, I'm looking for a good website or book that covers the basics of Freuds Psychoanalysis theory and basically uncomplicates it, such as Fetishism, the Oepedial Complex, Split subject etc. Thanks

Ok I'll bite.you ask a very big question, what area of the above are you finding difficult to understand?

There is no website as such, really it comes down to reading and reading the Standard Edition. However, Freud is not that diffiuclt to read, which has lead to some over-simplifying his thoughts; he is certain a clear writer compared to say Lacan.

Are you studying psuchoanalysis or just doing a project?

Books like "The Language of Psychoanalysis" are very handy for gettoing a quick overview of the various concepts and the many changes they underwent during Freud's development of them.
