Description

Explore the deep connections between human desire and psychological theory in this academic work from Routledge. This book examines wish-fulfilment as a central method for addressing inevitable desire, a concept that sits at the heart of classical psychoanalysis. Freud identified wish-fulfilment as the link connecting dreams, daydreams, and phantasy, as well as omnipotent thinking and various symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. It also extends to the study of art, myth, and religious illusions. While theoretical studies of this concept have seen less attention in psychoanalysis recently, contemporary philosophers now use it as a model to understand irrational behaviors that present challenges in psychiatry. This text provides a detailed look at how desire shapes the human experience, offering a bridge between philosophical inquiry and psychoanalytic thought. It is an essential resource for those studying the mechanics of the mind and the theoretical foundations of human behavior.
