Introduction / Mark Edmundson -- On the Introduction of Narcissism -- Remembering, Repeating, and Working Through -- Beyond the Pleasure Principle -- The Ego and the Id -- Inhibition, Symptom, and Fear.
Review: "In Freud's view we are driven by the desire for pleasure as well as by the desire to avoid pain. But the pursuit has never been a simple thing. Pleasure can be a form of fear, a form of memory and a way of avoiding reality. Above all, as these essays show with remarkable eloquence, pleasure is a way in which we repeat ourselves." "The essays collected in this volume explore, in Freud's uniquely subtle and accessible style, the puzzles of pleasure and morality - the enigmas of human development."--BOOK JACKET.
