The psychopathology of everyday life; translated under the general editorship of James Strachey in collaboration with Anna Freud, assisted by Alix Strachey and Alan Tyson

Abstract: The experiences and observations of Sigmund Freud led him to believe that the demarcation between normal and abnormal psychology was far less clearly defined than was supposed; he carried this idea to the extent of defining numerous common habits in terms of their deeper manifestations and causes. Mistakes which all people make were thought to be explainable as efforts of the psyche to cope with difficult or embarrassing situations; the motives for example, can be found and categorized, very frequently as being associated with sexual matters. Other everyday occurrences which fall into the same pattern are mistakes in speech, writing; and reading; concealing memories of childhood; forgetfulness; superstitions; and faulty or erroneous performance.

  • "Freud developed his system of psychoanalysis while studying the so-called borderline cases of mental diseases, such as hysteria and compulsion neurosis. By discarding the old methods of treatment and strictly applying himself to a study of the patient's life he discovered that the hitherto puzzling symptoms had a definite meaning, and that there was nothing arbitrary in any morbid manifestation. Psychoanalysis always showed that they referred to some definite problem or conflict of the person concerned. It was while tracing back the abnormal to the normal state that Freud found how faint the line of demarcation was between the normal and neurotic person, and that the psychopathologic mechanisms so glaringly observed in the psychoneuroses and psychoses could usually be demonstrated in a lesser degree in normal persons. This led to a study of the faulty actions of everyday life and later to the publication of the current text, a book which passed through four editions in Germany and is considered the author's most popular work. With great ingenuity and penetration the author throws much light on the complex problems of human behaviour, and clearly demonstrates that the hitherto considered impassable gap between normal and abnormal mental states is more apparent than real.

  • "This 1901 volume was a significant milestone in the development and popularization of Freud's theories. Here, focusing on incidents of everyday behavior familiar to everyone, such as forgetfulness and slips of the tongue, Freud demonstrates with a persuasive mix of reason and wit how unconscious motivations reveal themselves through neurotic symptoms."
  • "Through a series of case histories Freud explores how it is that normal people make slips of speech, writing, reading and remembering in their everyday life, and reveals what it is that they betray about the subliminal motive to conscious actions."
