Publisher's Synopsis
Modern Sexual Morality and Modern Nervousness is a book written by Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. Originally published in 1908, the book explores the relationship between sexual morality and the growing problem of nervous disorders in modern society.Freud argues that the strict sexual morality of the Victorian era has caused a great deal of psychological distress and neurosis in individuals, particularly in women. He suggests that the repression of sexual desires and the taboo surrounding sexuality has led to a culture of anxiety and nervousness.The book also explores the concept of the Oedipus complex, which Freud believed was a universal psychological phenomenon in which young children develop sexual feelings towards their parents. He argues that this complex is a key factor in the development of neurosis and other mental health issues.Overall, Modern Sexual Morality and Modern Nervousness is a seminal work in the field of psychoanalysis and a groundbreaking exploration of the relationship between sexuality, morality, and mental health.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
