Wow, such a fascinating text. It read like a detective story with a lot of uncovering of mysteries. Every lecture brought out into light a new aspect of the crime and in the end it was all tied together into a coherent believable system of understanding the dynamics of the psyche.
I haven't yet read any criticism of Freud so what i have at this point is just my amazement and excitement with the models he proposes. He shone a bright light on my understanding of dreams, neurotic symptoms and generally the condition of mental suffering. I am very greatful for that and i want to know more.
This book also provides a glimpse into the history of psychoanalysis, namely the problems that Freud and early psychoanalysts had to encounter while developing theory and practice, ironing out the details and then dealing with the protesting reactions of the public. They faced a lot of hate and it was interesting to read how they dealt with it and how they felt about it. ( )

It was almost a let down as these ideas are now so commonly expressed as to seem almost self-evident. There were of course a number of ideas that have been largely resolved, corrected - but still a very accessible and enjoyable read. ( )

Book description
E’ questo l’unico libro di Freud che ci dà la prospettiva totale della sua dottrina: le trentacinque celeberrime “lezioni”, che conducono il lettore a impadronirsi con ordinata gradualità del campo psicoanalitico nel suo insieme, sono una lettura davvero affascinante, di insuperato valore classico formativo, e al tempo stesso di vivissima attualità. Possiamo oggi, infatti, contentarci di orecchiare qualche risultato spicciolo di questa scienza profondamente innovatrice? Freud stesso ci avverte che gli “eclettici non sembrano tener conto che l’edificio della psicoanalisi, benché incompiuto, costituisce un’unità da cui nessuno può staccare elementi singoli a suo arbitrio”. La fama e la popolarità di Freud si fondarono in larga misura su questo libro, che per il rigore logico con cui sono presentati i materiali e l’estrema limpidità dell’esposizione fu subito considerato un capolavoro, ed ebbe, nel mondo intero, grandissima diffusione; troviamo in esso l’illustrazione esauriente della teoria psicoanalitica e delle sue applicazioni, e in più le opinioni di Freud su molte importanti questioni, come ad esempio l’educazione, la violenza, la guerra, la storia, la società, la religione, la femminilità.
