Work

The Interpretation of Dreams

Freud treats the dream as a constructed psychical formation, not a message decoded through fixed symbols. He follows condensation, displacement, censorship, and wish-fulfilment from the manifest account toward hypothetical latent thoughts.

Work

The Psychopathology of Everyday Life
