Short summary

What's it about?

Book's author Sigmund Freud is the Jewish founder of psychanalysis and Austrian neurologist. Mass Psychology book is like a guide to understanding the interaction between human attitudes and society's attitudes. Mass psychology observes mutual attitudes of people united in the same ideology. Individual psychology loses its features in the mass. Like organisms in a cell, a human is a part of a mass.

The person who joins the mass behaves differently from the orientations he would sense and think. Also, he knows that the person in the mass cannot be excluded and thinks he has incredible power. Here in this summary, we will see how mass psychology and individual psychological processes affect each other, how people change within the mass, and possible when we include them in a group.
