Freud for Beginners by Richard Appignanesi 175 pp.
This is the second book I've read from the "for Beginners" graphic novel style series. This one was darker and not as entertaining as the one about Einstein, but it is about Freud's theories. However, it does give an overview of his life and work including his experimenting with cocaine, coining the term "psychoanalysis" and the development of his theories like the Oedipus complex, dream analysis, the Pleasure Principal, Ego-Id-Super-ego, and his split with Carl Jung and others in the field of psychiatry. This book includes a small glossary and references.
