This book guides readers step-by-step through Freud's early ideas and how they changed and developed, exploring the birth of psychoanalysis.
The fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis are clearly explained, and the development and changes of major schools after Freud are summarized and presented clearly.
It explains the theoretical characteristics and differences of each school, as well as their influence and contributions to psychoanalysis, from a relatively objective perspective and in an easy-to-understand manner.
The final part of the book also addresses how psychoanalysis has been applied beyond clinical settings to understand social and cultural phenomena such as film, literature, and politics.

The greatest strength of this book is that it allows readers new to psychoanalysis to grasp at a glance the overall historical lineage of psychoanalysis, from its birth to the various theories of modern psychoanalysis.
Through this, readers will be able to quickly understand the broad framework of psychoanalysis and lay the foundation for more in-depth study in the future.

Another attractive aspect of this book is that the author presents the usefulness and limitations of each theory from a balanced perspective, without being biased towards any particular theory.
It sharply criticizes not only psychoanalytic theory but also psychoanalysts from an observer's perspective, and also introduces criticisms of psychoanalysis from other academic fields without reservation.

Despite the limitations and problems inherent in psychoanalysis, the author persuasively argues that this theory offers profound insights into understanding human behavior, the mind, and even society and culture.
And it gives a clear reason why we should study psychoanalysis.
