Petrified Ego

Discover the groundbreaking insights of Petrified Ego by Elizabeth Reddish, published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2013. This thought-provoking book challenges traditional psychoanalytic theory, advocating for a re-evaluation that places instinct at the core of our moral understanding. With 122 pages of compelling arguments, Reddish explores how our earliest notions of 'good' and 'bad' stem from experiences that are perceived as either 'safe' or 'threatening'. This unique perspective on the superego and conscience will engage readers interested in psychology and the complexities of human morality. Dive into Petrified Ego to expand your understanding of the psychological forces that shape our perceptions and behaviors.
