----------------------

An remarkable selection of thematically associated essays, together with The Uncanny, display stories, and Family Romances.

Leonardo da Vinci interested Freud essentially simply because he was once willing to grasp why his character used to be so incomprehensible to his contemporaries. during this probing biographical essay he deconstructs either da Vinci's personality and the character of his genius.

As ever, a lot of his exploratory avenues bring about the subject's sexuality - why did da Vinci depict the bare human physique the best way hedid? What of his tendency to enclose himself with good-looking younger boys that he took on as his scholars?

Intriguing, thought-provoking and infrequently contentious, this quantity comprises a few of Freud's most sensible writing.

Example text

Rejecting this equation, an alternative and fundamentally different conception of personality also has evolved throughout the history of the field, and it has much closer affinity to theory and research on the self. In this tradition, personality is construed as a system of mediating processes and structures, conscious and unconscious. , Mischel & Shoda, 1995, 2010). Freud’s theory was only the first and boldest of personality process theories in what has become a long tradition whose pioneers include such figures as Alfred Adler, Harry Stack Sullivan, Henry Murray, Kurt Lewin, and George Kelly.

This approach is exemplified in models such as the “Cognitive–­A ffective Processing System” (Mischel & Ayduk, 2011; Mischel & Shoda, 1995) and the dynamic self-­regulatory processing approach to personality (Morf & Horvath, 2010; Morf & Rhodewalt, 2001b; Morf, Torchetti, & Schürch, 2011), and is directly relevant to—and overlaps with—­ current self theory and research. Nevertheless, much of this work is located in areas often defined as personality and developmental psychology, or at their outer edges and hyphenated interfaces, and is cast in terms in which the self is not the focus.
