INTRODUCING FREUD: The Later Freud

Day course with Keith Barrett BA PhD

Freud continually revised his theories throughout his career.

And in some of his later works he explicitly abandoned the fundamental assumptions on which his early thinking had been based. The most far-reaching of these departures were rooted in a series of new and profound psychological insights formulated around the time of the First World War. In the post-war period, he also broadened the scope of psychoanalytic thinking by offering comprehensive theories of religion and society.
