Jokes and their relation to the unconscious
Book • 1960
Sigmund Freud's "Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious" explores the psychological mechanisms behind humor.
Freud argues that jokes often reveal unconscious desires and anxieties, providing a window into the workings of the mind.
He analyzes different types of jokes, examining their structure and the ways they function to release tension or express forbidden impulses.
The book delves into the relationship between humor, the unconscious, and the processes of repression and displacement.
It offers insights into the dynamics of the psyche and the ways in which unconscious material finds expression in everyday life.
Freud's work remains influential in the fields of psychology and literary criticism.
