«El chiste y su relación con lo inconsciente» is Sigmund Freud's essay on humour, published by Alianza in paperback (255 pages, in Spanish).
Freud analyses the psychic mechanisms of the joke, such as condensation, representation by the opposite and nonsense, and notes that these are techniques common to dream-work. With numerous examples he shows the joke as a social process and explains that the comic and humour recover childhood and produce pleasure as a saving of expenditure.
The work was originally published in 1905. This edition belongs to the Biblioteca Freud collection of the El Libro de Bolsillo series by Alianza.
Aimed at readers interested in psychoanalytic theory and the psychological study of humour.
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for evaluating and treating pathologies arising from conflicts in the psyche through dialogue between patient and psychoanalyst, and the distinctive theory of mind and human agency derived from it.
