Sigmund Freud's theories on the unconscious revolutionized the way we approach human behavior. This essential introduction explores his theories and the implications they had for understanding an array of psychological issues, including trauma, repressed memory, childhood development, and more. It also explores Freud's life as a scientist - the conflicts and controversies he faced when proposing his new ideas to his contemporaries - and the ways in which his theories have influenced psychology today. Perfect for students or anyone wanting to get to grip with Freud's ideas.

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is known around the world as the “Father of Psychoanalysis,” and for good reason. If anything, Freud’s first patient was himself. A sufferer of psychosomatic symptoms, Freud diagnosed himself as having a repressed antagonism against his father. From there, Freud began to build on his now famous concepts of the unconscious, infantile sexuality and repression. And of course, there’s his famous theory on the structure of the mind, which has made Id and Ego a commonly used part of the English lexicon.

Born in 1905 in the center of the crumbling Austro-Hungarian Empire, Viktor Frankl was a witness to the great political, philosophical, and scientific upheavals of the 20th century. In these stirring recollections, Frankl describes how as a young doctor of neurology in prewar Vienna, his disagreements with Freud and Adler led to the development of "the third Viennese School of Psychotherapy", known as logotherapy; recounts his harrowing trials in four concentration camps during the War; and reflects on the celebrity brought by Man's Search for Meaning in 1945.

Até hoje alvo de diversas críticas e controvérsias, acusado de charlatanismo, ocultista e até antissemita, Carl Gustav Jung é um dos maiores contribuintes para a psicologia como a conhecemos atualmente. O suíço, que chegou a nutrir uma íntima amizade com Freud, formulou conceitos amplamente utilizados até hoje, como os arquétipos e o processo de individuação. Além disso, contribuiu para o entendimento dos tipos de personalidades e métodos de interpretação de sonhos como um caminho para entender os níveis mais profundos da psique.

El objeto de este libro es mostrar quién fue, qué pensó y cual es el sentido, para nosotros, del pensamiento de Abu al-Ualíd Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Ruxd, en adelante Averroes, nombre que deriva de la latinización del apelativo Ibn Ruxd, nacido en Córdoba en 1126 y muerto en Marrakex en 1181. Su impronta en la cultura de su tiempo le hizo figurar nada menos que entre el auténtico canon onomástico de la teología y la filosofía medievales que supuso La Divina Comedia de Dante, o en el parnaso de la filosofía de Rafael en "La escuela de Atenas".

¿Recuerdas cuando en el año 1938 se pudo ver una aurora boreal en el cielo de Barcelona? ¿Recuerdas cuando las tropas franquistas entraron en la ciudad catalana desfilando por Diagonal, mientras cientos de republicanos huían? Muy probablemente no puedas acordarte, bien porque no estuviste allí o bien porque ni siquiera vivías cuando eso sucedió. En cambio, Ramon Bayés, uno de los grandes referentes de la psicología de nuestro país, nacido en 1930, sí estuvo allí. Y Ramón, con lucidez, con brillantez, recuerda.

La vida es, esencialmente, variabilidad y cambio; nuestra biografía –el viaje- se va construyendo sin mapa, brújula ni itinerario previo, momento a momento, a lo largo de una insistente búsqueda de felicidad y plenitud, por selváticos senderos, superpobladas ciudades y, a veces –demasiadas veces-, por desoladas carreteras. Esta es la historia de un viaje. El viaje a través de la vida de un psicólogo en busca de la serenidad.
