Features: As a knowledge system, Freud's psychoanalysis, at the theoretical level, also has an obscure and difficult-to-understand aspect. But there is one reason why it is more captivating than other knowledge systems—Freud was adept at using case studies (including literary and artistic works) to analyze the human psyche. Among these, the most alluring, shocking, or controversial are those related to "sexuality." However, these cases are scattered throughout his extensive works, some being excessively lengthy, others overly brief, and many interspersed with both narrative and commentary. For general readers, this not only makes reading inconvenient but also sometimes boring. This book takes 30 of Freud's most representative case studies as its material and rewrites them in the form of "short erotic mystery novels." In terms of the "mystery," it strives to maintain Freud's original intent, allowing readers to both roughly grasp certain concepts of psychoanalysis while enjoying the pleasure of reading a mystery novel.
