Freud draws from his personal experience to illustrate his points, citing many incidents of his own deliberate forgetting or "inexplicable" mistakes, and his conviction that these actions cannot be called truly accidental or uncaused is the primary lesson of this book. This volumes title is an homage to Freuds seminal work, The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, published in 1901. Psychopathology of Everyday Life remains one of Freud’s most widely read books, full of anecdotal accounts (many of them quite amusing) and free from jargon and technical terminology. ![]() In this classic of psychology, Freud explores the phenomenon of parapraxes: slips of the tongue commonly known as Freudian slips, acts of forgetfulness, misinterpretations, and "accidents." These simple and apparently trivial events, he explains, can possess deeper meanings with subconscious motivations - meanings that can be revealed by analysis and can ultimately offer a clearer perception of the self. These suppressed notions elude our conscious control and take the form of slips of the tongue, jokes, and seemingly accidental gestures. According to Freud, our daily lives teem with unwitting expressions of the wishes and ideas we try to keep hidden. ![]() ![]() ![]() What other symptoms did Peg have?

Connor was a boring character to me, but I think was partly because of me rushing through the game (and my British bias), but upon playing AC3 Remastered and doing the Homestead missions, he is a much better character. Ezio was one of my favourites, until Edward came along. Altaïr was one that I thought was a bit bland. I've loved most characters, but disliked others. From then on, I preordered every single game. In preparation for it, I played through all the previous games, only just finishing AC3 when I got my hands on Black Flag.
