Freud Without Trauma: So That You Can Understand the Theories Once and for All.. - by Alexandre Carvalho

Failed act. Oedipus complex. It's my mother's fault. That's your unconscious acting. All these terms and expressions are on everyone's lips and guide many of our reflections and attitudes about life.

Sigmund Freud is one of the few thinkers and scientists with a strong presence in cultural manifestations, including the most popular ones.. Could be: your discoveries placed the human being before the universe of mysteries of their unconscious – the part of the mind over which we have no control, but which determines behaviors, anxieties, choices, and the paths of our sexuality. But Freud's work ended up being, also, one of the favorites of amateur talk, the kind that ends up frequenting "the tables of taverns", producing a true "telephone game", by mixing, without much discernment, concepts such as: "repressed", "denial", "penis envy".

But, the confusion ends here. The journalist Alexandre Carvalho delved deeply into the work of Sigmund Freud to simplify his main theories, presenting them in a clear way.
