The Interpretation of Dreams34 reviews
Sigmund Freud

Avon, 1980

Plenty of facts and a wrong theory

+ nice

Freud's book must be read by anyone who studies dreams, because it contains about 220 dreams and valuable information about the dreamers' life experiences related to their dreams.

Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious2 reviews
Sigmund Freud, James Strachey, ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 1963

To make a Freudian slip on a banana peel

+ Freud loosens up a little

Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis2 reviews
Sigmund Freud

Liveright Publishing Corporation, 1989

a titan of modern thought

+ best intro to the thought of a great humanist

This is the best introduction to Freud's ground-breaking psychological theories, now so much maligned and obscured by the apologists for the pharmaceutical stupefaction and mollification that now passes for psychiatry and keeps our bankrupt culture lurching forward.
