Sigmund Freud Books

The fourteenth volume of the standard edition of the complete psychological works of Sigmund Freud. schovat popis

The Standard Edition of the complete works of the father of psychoanalysis - the only definitive paperback edition on the market. Translated from the German under the General Editorship of James Strachey; in collaboration with Anna Freud; assisted by Alix Strachey and Alan Tyson.

Sigmund Freud’s relationship with Otto Rank was the most significant of his professional life, with Freud regarding Rank as his most brilliant disciple. Their collaboration spanned psychoanalytic writing, practice, and politics; Rank served as the managing director of Freud’s publishing house and contributed two chapters to Freud's seminal work, The Interpretation of Dreams, marking the only instance of another name on its title page. This collection of 250 letters, compiled by E. James Lieberman and Robert Kramer, illuminates their twenty-year partnership and the eventual painful split. The correspondence, spanning from 1906 to 1925, reveals not only their professional insights but also their personal lives, including friendships, rivals, families, and travels. Notably, the letters document Rank’s growing independence, the father-son schism over his "anti-Oedipal" views, and their surprising reconciliation before their final separation. This candid correspondence offers a glimpse into how the pioneers of modern psychotherapy interacted with patients, colleagues, and each other, illustrating the development of psychoanalysis alongside early twentieth-century science, art, philosophy, and politics. This rich primary source serves as a powerful narrative of early psychoanalysis and its two most influential figures.

A new 2023 illustrated translation into modern American English from the original German manuscript of Freud's influential 1923 The Ego and the Id, where he describes his basic theories of consciousness. For broader context, a manuscript fragment titled "The Ego Split in the Defense Process" is includedThis edition includes an introduction by the translator on the philosophic differences between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, a glossary of Freudian Psychological terminology and a timeline of Freud’s life & works.

This book presents Freud's writings that initiated a new way of understanding the child’s psychic world, set against the cultural backdrop of early 20th-century Europe, where the 'innocence' of children was an untouchable dogma. Some of these writings have become classics, sparking curiosity and interest beyond the realm of specialists, such as "Little Hans" (1919) and "The Wolf-Man" (1914). It includes other essays like "The Sexual Education of Children" (1907) and "Childhood Sexual Theories" (1908), allowing readers to gain a comprehensive view of the child’s psychic world. This extensive overview of psychoanalytic thought on the issues of child psychic development is essential for parents, educators, and teachers who wish to understand the complex and rich world of children.

Swiss psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger first met Freud when he accompanied Jung on a trip to Vienna. Through their subsequent correspondence, they became friends and great admirers of each others work. This definitive collection of their lively exchanges will be an invaluable resource to both clinicians and those interested in the history of psychoanalysis.

"This collection contains Freud's most significant statements on women, taken form letters as well as published work, presenting a clear, accessible view of the progress of his though and his own struggle for understanding and coherence. Elisabeth Young Bruehl untangles the arguments, relating Freud's ideas on women, and on bi-sexuality to his clinical practice and broader theory, while the annotated bibliography traces the later disputes. REUD ON GIRLS- They go through an early age in which they envy their brothers their signs of masculinity and feel at a disadvantage and humiliated because of the lack of it... REUD ON WOMEN- At one time (in a matriarchal society) the woman may have been the dominant partner. In this way, like the defeated deities, she acquires demonic properties.. ND ON HIMSELF- My mother was nowhere to be found I was crying in despair. My brother Philip unlocked a wardrobe for me, and when I did not find my mother within it either, I cried even more until, slender and beautiful she came through the door. What can this mean?"

Exploring fundamental questions about human society, this work by Sigmund Freud delves into the tensions between individual desires and societal expectations. First published in 1929, it examines the discontent arising from cultural constraints and the struggle for personal fulfillment within civilization. Freud's insights into the psychological underpinnings of social structures offer a profound critique of modern life and its inherent conflicts.

One of 15 volumes in the Sigmund Freud series, this work presents accounts of case histories of hysterics and three theoretical essays on hysteria.

These two short accounts, written respectively in 1909 and 1926, are a good introduction to psychoanalysis for the general reader, for whom they were originally prepared.

Here are the essential ideas of psychoanalytic theory, including Freud's explanations of such concepts as the Id, Ego and Super-Ego, the Death Instinct and Pleasure Principle, along with classic case studies like that of the Wolf Man.Adam Phillips's marvellous selection provides an ideal overview of Freud's thought in all its extraordinary ambition and variety. Psychoanalysis may be known as the 'talking cure', yet it is also and profoundly, a way of reading. Here we can see Freud's writings as readings and listenings, deciphering the secrets of the mind, finding words for desires that have never found expression. Much more than this, however, The Penguin Freud Reader presents a compelling reading of life as we experience it today, and a way in to the work of one of the most haunting writers of the modern age.

This volume contains the last four of Freud's six major case histories.

"Civilized" Sexual Morality and Modern Nervous Illness, Vol. IX (1959); Thoughts for the Times on War and Death, Vol. XIV (1957); Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, Vol.XVIII (1955); The Future of an Illusion, Civilization and its Discontents, Vol. XXI (1961); Why War?, Vol. XXII (1964).

On Creativity and the Unconscious brings together Freud's important essays on the many expressions of creativity—including art, literature, love, dreams, and spirituality. This diverse collection includes "The 'Uncanny,'" "The Moses of Michelangelo," "The Psychology of Love," "The Relation of the Poet to Day-Dreaming," "On War and Death," and "Dreams and Telepathy."

Freud was fascinated by the mysteries of creativity and the imagination. The groundbreaking works that comprise The Uncanny present some of his most influential explorations of the mind. In these pieces Freud investigates the vivid but seemingly trivial childhood memories that often "screen" deeply uncomfortable desires; the links between literature and daydreaming; and our intensely mixed feelings about things we experience as "uncanny." Also included is Freud's celebrated study of Leonardo Da Vinci-his first exercise in psychobiography. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Through a series of case histories Freud explores how it is that normal people make slips of speech, writing, reading and remembering in their everyday life, and reveals what it is that they betray about the subliminal motive to conscious actions.

These works were written against a background of war and racism. Freud sought the sources of conflict in the deepest memories of humankind, finding clear continuities between our 'primitive' past and 'civilized' modernity. In Totem and Taboo he explores institutions of tribal life, tracing analogies between the rites of hunter-gatherers and the obsessions of urban-dwellers, while Mourning and Melancholia sees a similarly self-destructive savagery underlying individual life in the modern age, which issues at times in self-harm and suicide. And Freud's extraordinary letter to Einstein, Why War? - rejecting what he saw as the physicist's naïve pacifism - sums up his unsparing view of history in a few profoundly pessimistic, yet grimly persuasive pages.

"Patterned on his eminently successful Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis, Freud's New Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis takes full account of his elaborations in, and changes of mind about, psychoanalytic theory, and discusses a variety of central and controversial themes, including anxiety, the drives, occultism, female sexuality, and the question of a Weltanschauung. It serves as an indispensable companion to the Introductory Lectures." -- Back cover.

Originally published in 1918, this landmark collection of essays by the father of psychoanalysis represents one of Freud's most penetrating attempts to decipher the mysteries of human behavior. Its focus is the conflict between primitive feelings and the demands of civilization, i.e., the struggle to reconcile unconscious desires with socially acceptable behavior. Totemism involves the belief in a sacred relationship between an object (totem) and a human kinship group. Men and women bearing the same totem are prohibited from marrying each other, this being a form of incest taboo. Freud identifies a strong unconscious inclination as the basis of taboo, and he attempts to define its source by tracing the earliest appearance in childhood development of totemism. After an examination of the incest taboo in primitive societies around the world, Freud discusses taboo and the ambivalence of emotions; animism, magic, and the omnipotence of thought; and the infantile recurrence of totemism.

Distilled into one volume by his daughter Anna, this volume of Freud's writings constitutes a key to the understanding of his work. It includes The Question of Lay Analysis, Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, On Dreams, The Ego and the Id, Beyond the Pleasure Principle and 15 shorter pieces. Together, they provide a comprehensive picture of all the central Freudian concepts, and how they connect up to make one of the most challenging bodies of thought of the 20th century.

Theories on paranoia, masochism, repression, melancholia, the unconscious, the libido, and other aspects of the human psyche.

"Overview: Freud's seminal volume of twentieth-century cultural thought grounded in psychoanalytic theory, now with a new introduction by Christopher Hitchens. Written in the decade before Freud's death, Civilization and Its Discontents may be his most famous and most brilliant work. It has been praised, dissected, lambasted, interpreted, and reinterpreted. Originally published in 1930, it seeks to answer several questions fundamental to human society and its organization: What influences led to the creation of civilization? Why and how did it come to be? What determines civilization's trajectory? Freud's theories on the effect of the knowledge of death on human existence and the birth of art are central to his work. Of the various English translations of Freud's major works to appear in his lifetime, only Norton's Standard Edition, under the general editorship of James Strachey, was authorized by Freud himself. This new edition includes both an introduction by the renowned cultural critic and writer Christopher Hitchens as well as Peter Gay's classic biographical note on Freud."

"The new-born infant brings sexuality with it into the world."One of the many idea with which Freud startles the world was that even very young children are aware of sexual impulses and occupied with sexual problems. Furthermore, he said, neuroses in adults stem from the sexual fears and frustrations experienced at an early age. The essays collected here show how Freud developed that theory by exploring the mental life of children, their sexual fantasies and phobias. A famous and frequently amusing case history, that of "Little Hans," reveals how Freud cured a small boy of his fear that a horse—a symbol for his father—would castrate him. Other papers describe the sexual awareness of children, the fantasies they make up to account for their birth, their erotic daydreams about their parents, and the love-motives behind the lies they tell. In all these writings Freud is witty, incisive, and refreshingly frank as he explains the dangers of ignoring or abusing a child's sexual curiosity.

Controversial 1920 publication expands Freud's theoretical approach to include the death drive. The philosopher's concept of the ongoing struggle between harmony (Eros) and destruction (Thanatos) influenced his subsequent work.

Freud explores the intersection of religion and psychology, particularly focusing on the origins of Judaism and its relationship with Christianity. He presents a controversial thesis that Moses was actually an Egyptian who introduced his native religion to the Jews. Freud suggests that Moses was murdered in the wilderness, yet his teachings persisted and flourished among the people. This work delves into his broader theory of monotheism, offering insights into the evolution of these faiths and their impact on Jewish identity.

This new translation of The Future of an Illusion is for the first time paired with Oskar Pfister's powerful response, "The Illusion of a Future" (1928).

Setting forth in rich detail Freud's new theory of anxiety, Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety (1926) is evidence for one of them. In rethinking his earlier work on the subject, Freud saw several types of anxiety at work in the mind and here argues that anxiety causes repression, rather than the other way around.

Of the various English translations of Freud's major works to appear in his lifetime, only one was authorized by Freud himself: The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud under the general editorship of James Strachey.

These works reveal Freud at hi s most iconoclastic, asking challenging questions about the powerful attraction of group identity - how this has the power to bind us and drive us to hatred. In Mass Psychology (1921) he explores the psyche as a social force, with a compelling analysis of how institutions such as the Church and army can generate unquestioning loyalty to a leader and provoke us to commit atrocities - Freud's finding s would prove all too prophetic in the years that followed. Works such as Moses the Man, written at the time of Freud's flight from Nazism in 1938, warn of the dangers of nationalism. And other writings like The Future of an Illusion examine religion and ritual in a painstaking critique of religious faith.

The standard edition of Freud's seminal theory of the psychology of sexuality These three essays -- "The Sexual Aberrations," "Infantile Sexuality," and "The Transformations of Puberty" -- are among Sigmund Freud's most important works. Here, Freud outlines the core features of libido theory, his grand view of the psychology of sexuality: sexual perversion is a matter of human nature and "normal" sexual behavior only appears later in life, sexual urges begin in infancy, and these urges turn their attention outward as we mature through puberty. Freud first wrote Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality in 1905 and spent the next two decades making major revisions to the text. This edition offers Freud's complete vision of the sexual self, in the definitive James Strachey translation.

In 1909 Freud delivered five lectures at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. He spoke on the foundations of psychoanalysis, and the lectures were published the following year. Until the far more extensive Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis, Five Lectures on Psycho-Analysis was the authoritative summary of Freud's ideas, and it remains a lucid general introduction.

One of Freud's central achievements was to demonstrate how unacceptable thoughts and feelings are repressed into the unconscious, from where they continue to exert a decisive influence over our lives.This volume contains a key statement about evidence for the unconscious, and how it works, and major essays on the fundamentals of mental functioning. Freud explores how we are torn between the pleasure principle and the reality principle, how we often find ways both to express and to deny what we most fear, and why people so often need fetishes for their sexual satisfaction. These studies brilliantly illuminate our most basic drives and how they are transformed.

This remarkable book takes as its subject one of the most outstanding men that ever lived. The ultimate prodigy, Leonardo da Vinci was an artist of great originality and power, a scientist, and a powerful thinker. According to Sigmund Freud, he was also a flawed, repressed homosexual. The first psychosexual history to be published, Leonardo da Vinci was the only biography the great psychoanalyst wrote. When Jung first saw it, he told Freud it was 'wonderful', and it remained Freud's favourite composition. The text includes the first full emergence of the concept of narcissism and develops Freud's theories of homosexuality. While based upon controversial research, the book offers a fascinating insight into two men - the subject and the author. If you've ever wondered just what lies behind the Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile, read Freud on Leonardo. It's genius on genius.

A translation of Sigmund Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams" that is based on the original text published in November 1899.

Die zwischen 1884 und 1887 veröffentlichten Kokain-Schriften Freuds zählen zu seinen Frühwerken und entstanden in einer krisenhaften Lebensphase. Der junge Arzt, dessen berufliche Existenz noch unsicher war, suchte nach einer Möglichkeit, sich schnell einen Namen zu machen, um sich niederzulassen und zu heiraten. Er begann, mit dem damals wenig bekannten Alkaloid Kokain Experimente an sich selbst und anderen durchzuführen und setzte es bei Patienten zur Bekämpfung von Schwäche- und Verstimmungszuständen sowie zur Morphiumentziehung ein. Zunächst schien dies erfolgreich, doch bald wurde ihm vorgeworfen, die süchtig machenden Eigenschaften des Kokains nicht erkannt zu haben. Freud betrachtete seine Kokain-Veröffentlichungen später kritisch und bezeichnete sie als „Jugendsünden“. In der Sekundärliteratur werden sie als umstritten diskutiert. Einige Autoren sehen in Freuds Selbstversuchen Vorstudien zur späteren Selbstanalyse, während andere ihn als einen der Begründer der modernen Psychopharmakologie betrachten. In jüngster Zeit gab es jedoch vehemente Kritiken an seiner wissenschaftlichen Solidität und klinischen Vorgehensweise. Der Medizinhistoriker Albrecht Hirschmüller hat die verstreuten und teils unveröffentlichten Kokain-Schriften kritisch ediert und den historischen Kontext sorgfältig rekonstruiert, um dem Leser zu ermöglichen, ein ausgewogenes Urteil zu fällen.

Freud rarely treated psychotic patients or, indeed psychoanalyzed people from their writings, but he had a powerful and imaginative understanding of their condition - revealed, most notably, in this analysis of a remarkable memoir. In 1903, Judge Daniel Paul Schreber, a highly intelligent and cultured man, produced a vivid account of a nervous illness dominated by the desire to become a woman, terrifying delusions about his doctor and a belief in his own special relationship with God. Eight years later, Freud's penetrating insight uncovered the unacceptable impulses and feelings Schreber had about his father, which underlay his extravagant symptoms. Yet he also demonstrated the link with more normal patterns of psychosexual development - and the human tendency to transform love into hate.

In what is considered one of his most prominent ideas, Austrian psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud explains the dynamic of the human psyche in terms of the roles and conflicts produced by the id, ego, and super-ego. Freud suggests that all human behaviors and traits, including personality disorders, are created by the complex conflicts and workings of these three components of human personality.

The founder of modern psychiatry, Sigmund Freud powerfully believed that conscious decisions are underpinned by a guiding subconscious that can be understood only by analysis. Taken from one of his most important works, The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, published in a new translation by Penguin Modern Classics, this volume explores why we forget, how we remember and why our memories can sometimes prove deceptive.

The collection features essays originally authored by Wilhelm Jensen, exploring the intricate relationship between dreams and delusions. Sigmund Freud, the renowned neurologist and psychoanalysis pioneer, provides insightful analysis and interpretation of Jensen's work, delving into the psychological implications of dreams. This compilation offers a unique perspective on the human psyche, blending literary analysis with psychoanalytic theory.

A collection of Freud's major texts on love, human relations and loss, including - 'On Female Sexuality', 'A Child is Being Beaten', 'Three Essays on the Sexual Theory' and the case history 'Dora'

A Case of Hysteria reveals how Freud dealt with patients and interpreted their statements. A crucial text in the development of his theories, it is famous for its literary qualities, and the story of 'Dora' and her unhappy family is as dramatic as a modern novel. This new translation includes a fascinating introduction to the work.

Exploring the thin line between normalcy and neurosis, the author reveals that many psychopathological mechanisms present in severe cases can also be found in everyday behavior. This insightful examination led to the creation of a significant work, which has undergone multiple editions in Germany. Through keen analysis, the book sheds light on the complexities of human behavior, challenging the notion of a strict divide between normal and abnormal mental states, suggesting that the distinction is more superficial than previously thought.

New, compact, abridged edition of The Interpretation of Dreams, one of Freud's most important contributions to modern thought and a seminal work of psychological theory. The introduction by Freud expert Dr Richard Stevens, discusses its initial impact and subsequent influence.

The biography of Sigmund Freud reveals a diverse blend of traditions, mentalities, worldviews, and scientific methods central to Viennese intellectual life around 1900. Despite facing significant opposition, Freud's writings as the first "explorer of the unconscious" have profoundly influenced contemporary thought. As the founder of psychoanalysis and creator of terms like ego, superego, and id, his impact is global. This collection presents a range of quotes, maxims, and observations that sketch a multifaceted personality with wide-ranging interests, including politics, religion, interpersonal relationships, and humor, drawn from his extensive writings. Readers will find a fascinating array of opinions that illuminate his character and the cultural issues of his time, many of which retain their timeless brilliance. Alongside excerpts from Freud's major works, the collection also includes personal letters that offer rich insights and amusing remarks. Edited correspondences from various scholars have contributed significantly to this compilation. Organized into ten thematic chapters, this collection provides a representative glimpse into Freud's work, allowing readers to engage with his ideas through concise quotations that, while partial, reflect a broader understanding of his contributions.

This classic edition of The Basic Writings of Sigmund Freud includes complete texts of six works that have profoundly influenced our understanding of human behavior, presented here in the translation by Dr. A. A. Brill, who for almost forty years was the standard-bearer of Freudian theories in America. • Psychopathology of Everyday Life is perhaps the most accessible of Freud’s books. An intriguing introduction to psychoanalysis, it shows how subconscious motives underlie even the most ordinary mistakes we make in talking, writing, and remembering. • The Interpretation of Dreams records Freud’s revolutionary inquiry into the meaning of dreams and the power of the unconscious. • Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex is the seminal work in which Freud traces the development of sexual instinct in humans from infancy to maturity. • Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious expands on the theories Freud set forth in The Interpretation of Dreams. It demonstrates how all forms of humor attest to the fundamental orderliness of the human mind. • Totem and Taboo extends Freud’s analysis of the individual psyche to society and culture. • The History of Psychoanalytic Movement makes clear the ultimate incompatibility of Freud’s ideas with those of his onetime followers Adler and Jung.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky's powerful meditation on faith, meaning and morality, The Brothers Karamazov is translated with an introduction and notes by David McDuff in Penguin Classics. When brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov is murdered, the lives of his sons are changed irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, whose mental tortures drive him to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother Smerdyakov. As the ensuing investigation and trial reveal the true identity of the murderer, Dostoyevsky's dark masterpiece evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur and everyone's faith in humanity is tested. This powerful translation of The Brothers Karamazov features and introduction highlighting Dostoyevsky's recurrent themes of guilt and salvation, with a new chronology and further reading. “There is no writer who better demonstrates the contradictions and fluctuations of the creative mind than Dostoyevsky, and nowhere more astonishingly than in The Brothers Karamazov.”—Joyce Carol Oates “Dostoyevsky was the only psychologist from whom I had anything to learn: he belongs to the happiest windfalls of my life.”—Friedrich Nietzsche “The most magnificent novel ever written.”—Sigmund Freud

Si la primera parte de este volumen ofrece distintos ejemplos prácticos de psicoanálisis aplicado expuestos por Sigmund Freud, la segunda recoge once trabajos que explican a especialistas y profanos las reglas básicas a las que ha de ajustarse la tarea clínica, los obstáculos que han de orillarse para lograr una adecuada eficacia terapéutica y los procedimientos que constituyen el bagaje de la técnica psicoanalítica.

Ein fürsorglicher Vater Die hier erstmals veröffentlichten Briefe an die Kinder und Enkel zeigen Sigmund Freud von einer unbekannten Seite: als Vater, der für seine Kinder ein waches Auge und liebevolles Interesse hat. Ein berührendes Dokument gelebter Menschlichkeit. Ein erklärtes Prinzip gab es im Hause Freud: In der Not konnten sich die Kinder stets an den Vater wenden und hatten Anspruch auf seine Hilfe - auf das „Gerettetwerden“, von dem der älteste Sohn Martin spricht. Freud nahm seine Söhne, Töchter und Enkel ganz ernst. Nie trat er ihnen moralisierend entgegen. So zielte sein brieflicher Rat in allen Lebenslagen vor allem darauf, die Empfänger zu stützen, notfalls aufzurichten und sie in der Familiensolidarität zu verankern. Als Vater zeigte Freud eine tiefe, irdisch-handfeste Humanität, die man bewundern kann und die in den brieflichen Zeugnissen auch den heutigen Leser berührt. Der Band präsentiert die erhaltenen Briefe Freuds an seine (erwachsenen) Kinder und Enkelkinder, die bis auf wenige Ausnahmen erstmals veröffentlicht werden. Sie zeigen Freud als fürsorglichen Vater, der sich an der Pflege seines Familiennetzwerkes beteiligte, das für ihn ein zentraler Wert war. „Jenes Gefühl, daß die Kinder versorgt sind, dessen ein jüdischer Vater zum Leben wie zum Sterben dringend bedarf ...“ Sigmund Freud

Freud hinterließ eine Reihe substantieller Essays, in denen er die Hauptzüge seiner differenzierenden psychoanalytischen Methode sowie Empfehlungen für den therapeutischen Umgang mit Patienten darlegte. Zu den Themen gehören die Einladung zur 'freien Assoziation', die Verpflichtung des Analytikers zur 'gleichschwebenden Aufmerksamkeit' und das 'Couch'-Arrangement, das die Hörbeziehung und die 'Sprache' ins Zentrum des Geschehens rückt. Freud betont, dass aus den in der Intimität der analytischen Situation entstehenden 'Übertragungen' und 'Widerstände' die Frühgeschichte des Analysanden rekonstruiert werden kann, um ihm durch das Bewusstmachen des Unbewussten zu größerer Freiheit zu verhelfen. Heute ist es kaum noch nachvollziehbar, wie radikal Freud das traditionelle autoritäre Arzt-Patient-Verhältnis revolutionierte und dabei ein einzigartiges Forschungsinstrument für das Studium des unbewussten Seelenlebens entwickelte. Die in diesem Band gesammelten Schriften zeigen die Komplexität und Schönheit der psychoanalytischen Methode. Hermann Argelander beschreibt in seiner Einleitung deren Entstehung und Wesen und verdeutlicht, dass Freuds Konzepte und Regeln auch heute noch die Eckpfeiler der modernen psychoanalytischen Behandlungstechnik bilden, trotz ihrer Weiterentwicklung in Bereichen wie der Gegenübertragung und der Behandlung ehemals als nicht analytisch behandelbar geltender Krankheitsbilder.

'Ganz ohne Publikum kann ich nicht schreiben, kann mir aber ganz gut gefallen lassen, daß ich es nur für Dich schreibe.' Freud an Wilhelm Fließ am 18. Mai 1898 Sigmund Freuds Briefe an seinen nahen Freund Wilhelm Fließ, den Berliner Hals-Nasen-Ohrenarzt und Biologen, hier erstmals ohne Kürzung veröffentlicht, sind das bewegende tagebuchartige Protokoll der tiefen wissenschaftlichen und persönlichen Krise, aus der Freud, von der akademischen Welt isoliert, in den neunziger Jahren des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts das Paradigma der Psychoanalyse entwickelte. Der Leser kann gleichsam die Geburt eines Ideensystems miterleben, welches wie kaum ein zweites das Denken unserer Zeit geprägt, das Wissen des Menschen über sich selbst von Grund aus revolutioniert hat. Der grundlegende 'Entwurf einer Psychologie' von 1895, der in der inzwischen vergriffenen Auswahl der Briefe, „Aus den Anfängen der Psychoanalyse“, mitabgedruckt war, ist in dem 1987 erschienenen Nachtragsband zu Sigmund Freuds „Gesammelten Werken“ wieder zugänglich gemacht worden.
