Ravān'kāvī: Persian 1402

Almost all of us, for as long as we can remember, have faced questions about ourselves: Why do I feel this way? Why did I do that? Why do I want that thing? Why do I love that person? In trying to answer these questions, we often conclude that there are things about us that are out of reach, dumb, or enigmatic, and only by understanding them can we find a way to answer these questions. Psychoanalysis is one of the fields that in the new era promises to answer some of these questions, or at least shed light on them. Psychoanalysis is the knowledge of talking about the same dumb and mysterious things. This knowledge goes beyond the obvious behavior and speech and conscious experience, and by delving into the unconscious, it tries to make the world of our human experiences more comprehensible and to present possibilities for change in front of us. In the book before you, the focus is more on psychoanalysis as a method of treatment, and accordingly, the psychoanalytic theory of mind is also discussed. In dealing with these two areas, the book, above all, has a practical view and seeks to provide tools for knowledge and action to its audience.
