Basic Psychoanalytic Concepts on the Theory of Dreams

Originally published in 1969 Dr Nagera and his collaborators isolated from Freud¿s work 25 basic concepts that they considered not only the cornerstones of Freud¿s theory of dreams but fundamental pillars for the understanding of psychoanalytic theory generally. They are presented in a condensed and concentrated manner containing all significant statements made by Freud at any point in his life on the subject of dreams, as well as tracing the historical development of his ideas wherever significant. References to the sources are given in all instances for the guidance of the student of psychoanalysis, the psychiatrist, the social worker, the psychologist or the scholarly minded reader.
