In this introductory guide, Antony Easthope provides a witty and accessible overview of the subject showing the reality of the unconscious with a startling variety of examples. He takes us on a vivid guided tour of this troubling topic via jokes, rugby songs, Hamlet, Hitchcock's Psycho, and the life and death of Princess Di. Aimed at the absolute beginner, The Unconscious ; is an enjoyable and easy-to-read introduction for the student and general reader.
