A review by cici_christianson
Civilization and Its Discontents by Sigmund Freud

3.0

I had to sit with this one for a while before writing this review. Will it be offensive to a modern audience? Yes. Is it the definitive text on human civilization? Absolutely not.

But as they say, you have to start somewhere and Freud is where psychiatry started. Very interesting for those wanting to nerd out about the back catalogue of the founding father of psychiatry. Also interesting to see the thought process behind what used to be called psychiatry. You'll definitely take something away from reading it, just might not be what you expect.
