What is Psychoanalysis? (1949) both links discoveries of psychoanalysis to other, more familiar, knowledge, and examines the many differences between the two. It analyses the gulf between the well-known platitudes regarding human nature, and the attempts to answer questions that had never been raised - and whose existence had often been denied.
