Book Description

This book contains a varied and detailed treatise on many subjects relating to the field of psychoanalysis, written by the seminal Austrian psychologist William Stekel. Stekel s favourite book of his own writing, The Depths of the Soul was extremely popular, translated into many languages and written during years within which the first rays of analytical psychosis penetrated the darkness of the human soul. Covered within this comprehensive compendium are chapters such as: Laziness, Those Who Stand Outside, Childhood friendship, Refuge of Despair, Why We Travel, Moody Persons, Looking into The Future, and many others. A clear and concise introduction to contemporary psychoanalysis, this rare book constitutes a must-read for both seasoned practitioners and aspiring enthusiasts alike, republished now with a new introductory biography of the author. Wilhelm Stekel was an Austrian psychologist who would become known as one of Freud's earliest followers."
