Introduction To Psychoanalysis 1

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), the founder of the psychoanalytic theory, published his first notes on this theory with the lectures he gave to his students. He begins his lectures by saying that psychoanalysis is known to be a method of treatment applied to patients with psychic problems. Primarily, the treatment method applied in this field is completely different from the methods applied in all other medical fields and is even the opposite of the other methods.

In this first part of Freud's lecture called "The Psychology of Errors", he examines some common, well-known, but not highly valued events that can be observed in any healthy individual and are not related to the concept of the patient.
