Synopsis

The Beloved Ego offers accessible, thought‑provoking ideas about the hidden life of the mind and how healing begins. This introduction to Wilhelm Stekel’s work frames psychology as a practical, humane path to harmony with reality.


Through short sketches and reflective essays, the book lays out a new approach that blends psycho‑analysis with a warm, human touch. It discusses how the doctor of the soul can guide patients from inner turmoil to constructive growth, and it touches on dreams, money, sexuality, and daily life as gateways to understanding the self.



  • How dreams reveal guilt, desire, and hidden patterns that shape behavior

  • How money and power influence relationships and self‑perception

  • How analysis leads to rebuilding a hopeful, purposeful life

  • The role of the therapist as educator, guide, and partner in healing


Ideal for readers curious about early psychoanalytic ideas and practical psychology that connects theory to everyday life.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Beloved Ego: Foundations of the New Study of the Psyche

My first attempt at an English preface. To begin with: I am happy to wear an English dress! I have been longing for many years to speak to English readers. I feel very thankful. Few men are thankful... I am proud to say I have conquered the two most mean of human qualities, envy and ingratitude. I have overcome both the envy of ingratitude and the ingratitude of envy.

To continue: One of my first and best teachers in Psychology was an Englishman, whom Swinburne, my beloved Swinburne, the creator of "The Ballad pf Dreamland" addresses: "Not if men's tongues and angels' all in one spake, might the word be said that might speak Thee. All stars are angels; but the sun is God."

In case all of my future readers may not have been readers of Swinburne, I will give this teacher's name: Shakespeare, now in the Heaven of Immortals.

You can find in his works all the riddles of the beloved Ego. You can find there the unspoken, the unforeseen, the only guessed, the only foreboded, the secret mysteries of human Unconsciousness. He knows the depths and the heights, the brilliant light and the darkening shadow, the virtues and what lies behind them, the hidden crimes and their concealed origins.
