Delusion and Dream is a book written by the renowned psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud. The book explores the relationship between delusions and dreams, and how they are connected in the human psyche. Freud delves into the unconscious mind and examines the role that dreams play in shaping our thoughts and behaviors. He also analyzes the nature of delusions, which are false beliefs that are held despite evidence to the contrary. The book is divided into two parts. In the first part, Freud discusses the psychology of dreams, exploring their symbolic meaning and how they reflect our deepest desires and fears. He also explores the ways in which dreams can be interpreted and analyzed to gain insight into the unconscious mind. In the second part of the book, Freud examines the nature of delusions, which he sees as a form of wish fulfillment. He explores the different types of delusions, including paranoid delusions, delusions of grandeur, and delusions of persecution. He also discusses the role of culture and society in shaping delusions, and how they can be treated through psychoanalysis. Overall, Delusion and Dream is a fascinating exploration of the human psyche and the ways in which our dreams and delusions shape our thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions of reality. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the field of psychology or the workings of the human mind.1927. An interpretation in the light of psychoanalysis of Gradiva a novel by Wilhelm Jensen, which is here reprinted. Introduction by Dr. G. Stanley Hall. Gradiva is the story of a young archaeologist who suffered a very characteristic mental disturbance and was gradually but effectively cured by a kind of native psychotherapeutic instinct, which probably inheres in all of us, but which in this case was found in the girl he formerly loved but had forgotten, and who restored at the same time his health and his old affection for her. Freud s analysis of the romance indicates that psychoanalysis has a future in literary criticism, if not that all art and artists have, from the beginning, more or less anticipated as they now illustrate it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
