«Introducing Freud» is the popular-science comic by Richard Appignanesi and Oscar Zárate, published by Icon Books in paperback (176 pages, in English).
The book reviews Sigmund Freud's life and the formation of his ideas: from his childhood in nineteenth-century Vienna and his medical career, including his encounter with cocaine, to the evolution of his theories on the unconscious, dreams and sexuality. It also clarifies common psychoanalytic terms such as id, ego or Oedipus complex.
The work originally appeared in 1979 as 'Freud for Beginners' and is part of the Introducing series; this edition dates from 2004.
For readers with no prior training in psychoanalysis seeking a visual and accessible approach to Freud.
