Why read it?
1 author picked A Primer of Freudian Psychology as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I hasten to say most, though not by any means all of his hypotheses are wrong. I read this book at 15 and knew when I finished it I was going to be a psychologist. Some of my work gives strong support to a few of his hypotheses about the unconscious. Ironically, Freud himself didn’t believe his ideas could be tested by psychology experiments.
From Richard's list on thinking.
