Psychopatologie všedního života

The 1901 book is based on research into miscues (forgetting, misspelling, misreading, misspelling, misspelling, etc.). According to Freud, these can be rationally explained as the product of the activity of the unconscious, thus ruling out mere chance. Since all of us exhibit erroneous acts, we are all, according to the author, somewhat neurotic. The book, which is not so heavily laden with theory and is practical rather than speculative, can serve as a useful introduction to Freud's teachings. It also ranks among Freud's best-known writings and is considered an important contribution not only to the study of psychopathology but also to linguistics, semantics, and philosophy.
