Awful narration and terrible editing.

There is not a single non-English word or name that the narrator has yet pronounced correctly, The file skips, repeats, backtracks, flubs by the narrator are left in rather than being cut etc. just dreadful.

Repetitive and Boring

this was hard to finish. none of the listed books are on here. it's extremely repetitive in the most irrelevant manner. it's a rambling mess and not worth picking up.

No chapters

Ugh. This is a collection but the chapters are not listed and thus you cannot find what you are looking for

It's Not What it's Advertised to Be...

If you're interested and click on the title before purchasing, you get an entire list of what's supposed to be contained in the "collection" (i.e., A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis; Psychopathology of Everyday Life; Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex; Totem and Taboo; Leonardo Da Vinci; Dream Psychology; On Aphasia: A Monograph; The Origin and Development of Psychoanalysis; Beyond the Pleasure Principle; etc., etc.) Really? Not even close. Almost all of the entire 38 hours of this collection is a rambling dissertation of "Dream Psychology," and almost nothing else. At best, it was boring. At worst, after listening to this I find it very hard to come to terms with Freud's work--especially as it relates to psychoanalysis (which is only marginally touched on in this collection) essentially being the foundation for most of the psychiatric and psychological treatment approaches for the 20th Century. I'm pretty literate and well-educated (multiple master's degrees and a doctorate in the health sciences), but I came away pretty shocked by Freud's writing. To him, every describable pathology is related to some sort of sexual obsession or tension--largely dating to childhood and our so-called repressed desire to boink one or more of our parents. Whatever we seem to dream can only be described as related to penile or labial imagery (e.g., whether we dream of a hat, a closet, a swimming pool/lake, a snake, a walking stick, or whatever). Cocaine--which he freely admits to having been addicted to to the point of causing a deviated septum (I knew people in the 1970's that that happened to and you wouldn't believe the amount of coke they had to do to cause that to happen)--must have made him so horny it was all he could think of! Don't waste your time with this. You'll be hugely disappointed. Extremely disappointed. God only knows why this guys theories have had the long-standing impact that they have had. It only served to remind me that those of my colleagues in the health sciences go into psychiatry or psychology because they have a whole s*&$ ton of pathology themselves.
