The process of psychoanalysis is a true anatomy of the soul - without a scalpel, but always difficult and painful. The father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, remains the unmatched reference of a science that opened new, labyrinthine paths in our knowledge of the human soul, of humanity.

This book contains five lectures that Freud delivered at Clark University in Massachusetts, in September 1909. The theory and practice of psychoanalysis are developed in these texts in a rough, vivid, and revealing manner in its simplicity.

A unique introduction to the abyss of the human soul.
