The interpretation of dreams

Dream interpretation occupies a prominent place in Freud's work, and he revised it several times throughout his life. In the work, also known as the Book of Dreams, Freud believed he had made his greatest discovery: that the motivating force of dreams is the fulfillment of wishes. In this book, John Forrester, head of the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge, analyzes the various criticisms leveled at Freudian theory regarding dreams and contextualizes the book within the scientific landscape of the time. He also highlights Freud's courage in exposing his own dreams to the public. Forrester has extensive research on the work of Sigmund Freud.
