Produktbeschreibung
It is astonishing that meaningful discoveries of depht psychology are already existent with Dostoyevsky. Long before Freud he mentioned the unconcious and before Adler, the discoverer of inferiority complexes' and 'compensation' in emotions, he spoke about the polarities of high and low in the personality of men and he had knowledge of the contradictory human soul. He described defence mechanisms from within or talked about sado-masochistic arrangement of relationships, that we all know well. His portraying of types - drawn with only few brush strikes - are a match for the introvert and extrovert types of C.G. Jung. With his extraordinary understanding of the origin of delinquence he made a considerable contribution to modern criminology. In this book there is a follow up of those avant-garde achievements for example the characters Alexej, the gambler, Nastasya out of The Idiot and Rodion Raskolnikov out of Crime And Punishment.'
