Psychopathology of Everyday Life

Sigmund Freud was the Austrian neurologist who is considered to be the founder of psychoanalysis. Freud also contributed greatly to the analysis of dreams and sexuality. Freud's work remains very popular and relevant today. In Group Psychology and Analysis of the Ego, Freud questions why the psychology of a group, such as an army, church, or mob, can be so strong that the individuals' own personal interest and beliefs can be drowned out. Psychopathology of Everyday Life looks at some of the more intriguing and obscure facets of people's lives. In it, Freud analyzes such things as why people forget names, why people make mistakes while writing and speaking, and how people remember distant memories.
