Introduction to psychiatry and psychoanalysis. Simply about the complex

From the author of the bestseller "Games that people play"
What is sociopathy and what do dreams signal? Why do people develop addictions and neuroses? What is more effective: shock therapy, group sessions or tranquilizers? Why does a visit to a psychotherapist not always help and how to master the skills of psychoanalysis on your own?
World-renowned doctor Eric Berne answers these and other questions related to psychiatry and psychoanalysis in detail, clearly and not boringly. What is the subconscious and why do people dream; how are relationships between homo sapiens built; why do people go crazy and what is neurotic syndrome; what is really hidden under the phrase "going to a psychiatrist" and can a visit to a specialist really cure mental illnesses? Questions that concern not only representatives of the profession, but also ordinary people who seek to understand the intricacies of their own psyche without drowning in a sea of ​​specific terminology.
