A key text in the history of psychoanalytical thought and the investigation of human sexual compulsion. Configured as a series of confessional letters, the book posits the "It" as the unconscious force which drives human behaviour and underpins its poles of attraction and revulsion, and which stands as the root source of physical disease.
