About Sigmund Freud
Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis. He earned his credentials as a medical doctor from the University of Vienna and his early research focused on cerebral palsy, aphasia, and neuroanatomy. He published perhaps his most important work, The Interpretation of Dreams, in 1900 and founded the International Psychoanalytical Association in 1910. He influenced many psychologists, including Alfred Adler, Jacques Lacan, and, most famously, Carl Jung. He fled Nazi Germany in 1938. In 1939, suffering from painful, inoperable buccal cancer, Freud requested and received lethal doses of morphine.
As the founder of psychoanalysis, Freud is best known for his concepts and techniques such as free association, transference, the Oedipus complex, dream interpretation, repression, the unconscious, libido, the death drive, and the id, ego, and superego. Though Freud’s thought is no longer prevalent in most psychiatric circles, he remains influential across the humanities—including literary criticism, philosophy, sociology, and feminist theory—and many of his ideas have been thoroughly absorbed into Western popular culture.

Not including The Future of an Illusion was a bit of an oversight. That text is *the* psychological/philosophical critique of Christianity from a hardened atheistic perspective, and should be required reading for anyone interested in apologetics, religion, and understanding the widespread atheism of our age. Especially those asking "what does Freud have to do with Jesus" should read this short text (which is unfortunately not included at the time of this posting) and reflect on the state of contemporary Western culture.

Freud made groundbreaking contributions to the practice of counseling. Those going into Christian Counseling, like my wife (who would like this set for her studies), would do well to be familiar with his works and learn from what he did well.

Freud is incredibly important for the academic study of religion. I'm excited Logos is pursuing Freud in Community Pricing, though I would like to see Future of an Illusion included. Even if you disagree, it's helpful to engage his work. Clearly his theories on the history of Israel are totally insane (excuse the pun) as any scholar of biblical studies (who has read Totem and Taboo) will tell you, but the guy is important in our collective intellectual history. Keep going this direction, Logos! How about some Marx next?
