Description
A Critical Dictionary of Psychoanalysis (Second Edition) by Charles Rycroft provides clear definitions for technical terms used in psychoanalysis and those borrowed from everyday language. This reference work is notable for its critical approach, as the author believes that certain concepts raise more problems than they solve. The dictionary offers detailed and meticulous definitions, cross-referenced entries that explain associated concepts, and discussions of philosophical, theoretical, or semantic issues raised by the definitions. It also explores controversies arising from certain points of view and provides a full up-to-date bibliography. This second edition is a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of psychoanalysis.
