Sándor Ferenczi Books

In Thalassa,Ferenczi expands the symbols of pallus and vagina into cosmic symbols, not by reference to myths but by his interpretations of embryonic, physiological, and psychological facts. he develops the view that the whole of life is determined by a tendency toreturn to the womb, equating the process of birth with the phylogenetic transition of animal life from water to land, and linking coitus to the idea of "thalassal regression": "the longing for the sea-life from which man emerged in primeval times."

Book by Ferenczi, Sandor

The standard edition of Freud's seminal theory of the psychology of sexuality These three essays -- "The Sexual Aberrations," "Infantile Sexuality," and "The Transformations of Puberty" -- are among Sigmund Freud's most important works. Here, Freud outlines the core features of libido theory, his grand view of the psychology of sexuality: sexual perversion is a matter of human nature and "normal" sexual behavior only appears later in life, sexual urges begin in infancy, and these urges turn their attention outward as we mature through puberty. Freud first wrote Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality in 1905 and spent the next two decades making major revisions to the text. This edition offers Freud's complete vision of the sexual self, in the definitive James Strachey translation.

Sándor Ferenczi, ein bedeutender ungarischer Neurologe und Psychoanalytiker, war nicht nur ein enger Vertrauter von Sigmund Freud, sondern auch ein innovativer Denker. Seine Arbeiten legten den Grundstein für spätere Theorien, insbesondere in den Bereichen der Objektbeziehungstheorie und Psychotraumatologie. Ferenczis kreative Ansätze und produktiven Ideen prägen die Psychoanalyse bis heute und zeigen seine Vorreiterrolle in der Entwicklung psychotherapeutischer Konzepte.
