Would you recommend any of the ones mentioned? Are there any others that you think do a good job presenting his work? Miguel: It's no contest, really. Your search is over. The book you want, given your requirements, is Calvin S. Hall's supremely classic little paperback, _A Primer of Freudian Psychology_, now in its zillionth edition. This is the one. Trust me. And forgive me, Allen. I agree with Stephen here, though I must confess that fear of provoking Allen's wrath (again) gave me some trepidation in saying so. Hall's books is short, to the point, and with a minimum of evaluation. It doesn't tell you what to think of Freud, but it tells you what Freud thought, and you can read the whole thing in a couple of days. Regards, -- Christopher D.
