The Psychology of Values

This book is the culmination of a profound personal and academic journey into the understanding of values through the lens of dynamic psychoanalysis. It employs the tools of psychoanalysis to interpret both individual and collective behavior related to values, uncovering the unconscious dimensions often hidden beneath customs, traditions, and social discourse.The work draws on the foundational theories of both classical and contemporary psychoanalysis, including figures such as Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Erik Erikson, Alfred Adler, Karen Horney, and others who have contributed valuable tools for comprehending the human psyche and its internal conflicts among the id, ego, and superego.This book is not merely an academic exercise but also carries the author's personal imprint, where meticulous psychoanalysis becomes a means of understanding reality and deconstructing moral behavior in an age where values are rapidly shifting. It thus bridges science, lived reality, and the human self, presented in a refined analytical language worthy of the subject's depth.
