Introducing Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalytic terms such as Ego, libido and neurosis have become a part of our everyday vocabulary. But what is modern psychoanalysis? Little is known about its contemporary theory or practice. Introducing Psychoanalysis asks questions like: Why was Freud so interested in sex? Is Psychoanalysis a science? How does analysis work? In doing so the book offers new insights into the nature of psychoanalytic theory.
