An Elementary Textbook of Psychoanalysisby Charles Brenner

35 of 36 people found the following review helpful: The best introduction to psychoanalysis I've read, January 1, 2000 Reviewer:Michael Strassberg (Hamilton Square, NJ USA) - If you've ever wondered what "ego", "id", "projection", and all the other psychoanalytic vocabulary meant, and wanted a book which thoughtfully assumed you were a novice, this is it. Brenner writes in a very readable style, and assumes that the reader is new to the field, so he is clear and expressive in his development, but never insults the reader's intelligence. He also gives examples of the ideas he writes about, bringing them alive, rather than leaving them as theoretical constructs. If you want to go further into psychoanalysis, want to understand the theories for their relevance to literature, film and other arts, or just want to be conversant in an otherwise arcane lexicon, read this book.
