What are the essential texts on psychoanalytic theory? >inb4

Would a dictionary of terms/concepts be useful? I'm planning on reading Interpretation of Dreams, Freud's case studies, his introductory lectures. But I'm lost as to where to go from Freud (straight to Jung?), and also I want to get to grips with Lacan

>psychoanalysis

Just start a dream journal, you'll learn just as much useless information

The Interpretation of Dreams
Chapter V. The Material and Sources of Dreams
Chapter VI. The Dream-Work

Lacan:
The Mirror Stage as Formative of the Function of the I as Revealed in Psychoanalytic Experience
The Agency of the Letter in the Unconscious
Signification of the Phallus

Hegel Phenomenology of the spirit: chapter on master slave dialectic

Erich Fromm Psychoanalysis and Religion. Also you might enjoy some of his other works, especially his writings on the split conscience.

There's also other stuff, but this is the groundwork pretty much.

is it: "I hate Freud, he ruined literature" or "I hate Freud, he has ruined literature"? Thanks in advance

I've probably read more Jung than Freud, but virtually no theorist in the psychoanalytic tradition (talking about Lacan, Irigaray, Deleuze, Butler, Zizek, etc.) will ever reference him. So you can honestly skip Jung if you're just looking for entry level texts, although Jung is immensely entertaining.

You can probably go right from Freud (Int. of Dreams, selected case studies, Civ and its Discontents, Beyond the Pleasure Principle) to Lacan's Ecrits.

Is a pretty good crash course, although I would really recommend reading Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle (longish essay) before tackling Lacan.

Not OP, but saved your post. Is Hegel's dialectic important beyond that chapter btw?

the first one because he's dead and the ruining is done, the second would be if he were alive and still ruining it
