Digireads.com The Psychopathology of Everyday Life

While I like the content of the book, it was sometimes hard to read as there are a lot of grammatical errors and missing words from sentences. An example from page 29: "In the course of the hour she repeatedly made in mistakes speech, and I finally observed that it only because she imitated me but because she had a special reason in her unconscious..." There are quite a few examples of sentences like this, or sometimes it seems that important words from the sentence are just not there. Perhaps there were some mistakes that have persevered from their original German translation

This is the first book of Freud's that I have read. I did not get interested until about fifty pages in. After that it gets better. Basically, he explains why people make mistakes such as forgetting the name of someone you just met. Many of the stories he tells are interesting and easy to relate to as we all make similar mistakes from time to time. The main downside is that nearly all of the cases involve upper middle class people. Few stories of working class or poor people. I am not sorry I read it but my next book will be from another psychologist.

Good book

Book was in excellent condition, no marks, vintage book apparently 65 years old, with beautiful handwritten note from the seller !excellent service, fast delivery. Clearly seller loves books.

Still if not more relevant in today's world where a persons history is often as important in actions relevant to the politics ofworld peace and decision making.
