The Psychology Before Freud CD-Rom is a collection of 42 books on psychology that were compiled by Richard Seltzer. Freud lived from 1856 - 1939, and he is considered the founder of the psychoanalytic (psychoanalysis) school of psychology. At first glance, you may find that the title of this collection may seem a bit misleading at first, primarily because most of the titles in this collection were published during Sigmund Freud's lifetime. However, if you take a closer look at the titles, you'll soon see that while many of them may be contemporaneous to Freud's work, they do not incorporate it. Psychology Before Freud is the ninth title in B&R Samizdat Express' CD of the Month series. The titles in this series can be purchased individually, or you can purchase a yearly subscription.
