More about the book

The book delves into the concept of wish-fulfillment as a central theme in classical psychoanalysis, highlighting Freud's view of its connection to dreams, fantasies, and various psychological symptoms. It emphasizes the neglect of this concept in later psychoanalytic discourse while showcasing its resurgence in contemporary philosophy. The exploration reveals how wish-fulfillment serves as an explanatory model for irrational behaviors, offering insights relevant to psychiatry, social psychology, and the philosophy of mind.
