Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex

More about the book

Freud's exploration of human sexuality in this collection of essays delves into the unconscious mind, linking it to his earlier theories on dreams and hysteria. He presents sexuality as a fundamental force behind neuroses and perversions, introducing pivotal concepts such as penis envy, castration anxiety, and the Oedipus complex. These essays significantly shaped the understanding of sexual development and continue to impact psychological discourse today.
