Reviews and Endorsements
The following sections of the book consist of eight longer essays that make fascinating and instructive reading. For example, that on Dreams and Myths shows how the psychoanalytical method of dream interpretation is used to elicit the inner meaning of myths such as that of Prometheus, as well as Bible stories such as those of Moses and Sampson. Another presents a psychoanalytic study of a painter that contributes to an understanding of artists and their work. The final essay discusses Coué's method of autosuggestion in the light of Freud's work on group psychology.
