ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in this book. The book talks about Sigismund Schlomo Freud who is an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, proposes a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalys. Freud was a controversial figure in his lifetime, and he remains a controversial figure after his death. The controversies swirl around two important issues: whether another form of therapy is better at treating this or that ailment and whether Freud overstated some of his claims for instance, his insistence on the hidden importance of sexuality in human suffering. One's unconscious minds are going over the past sufferings, anxiously fearing dangers, imagining angry responses and wishfully hoping one's desires to be fulfilled. Psychoanalysis is a creative repetition of these mindful activities at the level of self-conscious awareness. Psychoanalysis also provides unusual insight into the macrocosm of unconscious desire.
