Description

In this work Freud describes psychological mechanisms at work within mass movements. A mass, according to Freud, is a 'temporary entity, consisting of heterogeneous elements that have joined together for a moment.' He refers to the writings of sociologist and psychologist Gustave Le Bon, summarizing his work at the beginning of the book.

Sigmund Freud (born Sigismund Schlomo Freud; 6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for evaluating and treating pathologies arising from conflicts in the psyche through dialogue between patient and psychoanalyst, and the distinctive theory of mind and human agency derived from it.
