Beskrivning

The centennial of the original publication of Sigmund Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams" has generated a wave of critical reappraisals of this monumental work. Considered one of the most important books in Western history, scholars from an astonishing variety of academic fields continue to wrestle with Freud's intricate theories and insights. "Dreams" is a collection of writing on dreams from many scholars in religious studies, anthropology, and psychology departments. The volume is organized into three thematic sections: traditions, individuals and methods. The 23 articles highlight the most important theories, the most contentious debates, and the most far reaching implications of this growing field of study.
