Features: This book is based on the observations from George Frankl's over forty years of experience as a psychoanalyst. It provides theoretical foundations for the psychoanalytic techniques elaborated in Exploring the Unconscious from various perspectives. George Frankl began his psychoanalytic work with what we now call the "classical" psychoanalytic model. He expanded and deepened the concepts proposed by Freud, showing us entirely new dimensions of the psyche that earlier pioneers had not reached. His hypnotherapy methods enable patients to recall and re-experience long-forgotten experiences in their lives, thereby broadening our understanding of the scope of the unconscious mind. The Unknown Self traces the psychological development of individuals from early childhood, demonstrating the various causes of widespread neurotic and psychic conflicts. The book combines rigorous academic knowledge with profound humanistic care, allowing readers to experience self-aware and enlightening moments, offering a completely new understanding of the unpredictable behavior of children. Frankl's psychoanalytic theory is one of the new developments in the psychoanalytic movement. This introduction presents several of his works: The Archaeology of the Soul, Civilization: Utopia and Tragedy, The Unknown Self, Exploring the Unconscious, Blueprint for a Healthy Society, The Foundations of Morality, and The Failure of the Sexual Revolution. These are almost all of Frankl's works on psychoanalysis. In these writings, Frankl draws extensively from various sources, using his profound wisdom and clear prose to present a grand panorama of human nature, humanity, and society. This book, The Unknown Self, is one of them.
