By Philip Rieff

From the Preface: "The Emergence of Psychological Man" was written as a coda to The Mind of the Moralist, it is often assigned to students and read separately now from the main body of the text. I have thought ti important to amplify the concept of psychological manfor a reason stated most succinctly by two historians in their appraisal of my work and its implications. "If the dominant character type of the twentieth century is really what Riff calls 'psychological man,' the consequences for western society are quite incalculable." As a calculus of the incalculable, The Triumph of the Therapeutic is more than amplification of what has gone before; it signifies a beginning as wel as an end. I have tried to say something about the consequences of psychological man for Western society-but not everything, for I do not consider the advance of the social sciences toward a theory of culture yet sure enough to convey such an attempt….

From the introduction: It was an acute observer of men and matters who once remarked: "If you want to hide something, put it in the most obvious place." For centuries, mankind seems to have followed this advice: in an effort to avoid self-knowledge men ignored not only their dreams but the be- havior of their children, until Sigmund Freud detected the hidden psyche under the disguises of commonplace a n d everyday life. Like Sherlock Holmes, Freud was a master logician and detective, and for him, too, his conclusions when once reached were "elementary."

This is a thoroughly revised edition of a volume published by the quarterly SALMAGUNDI (number 20, Summer-Fall 1972). That earlier collection included in its 248 pages the first version of a new work by Philip Rieff entitled "Fellow Teachers," a work which has itself undergone extensive revision and elaboration and which was published independently by Harper and Row late in 1973. A small excerpt from that book is all our present collection can claim. Now Rieff si clearly the commanding presence in this volume, as he was in the earlier periodical version, and thus we have had a major task in 'replacing' the 80-page text of "Fellow Teachers." In a sense, of course, nothing can possibly replace it, but we've feshed out the volume with a number of items that will surely be useful to students of Psychological Man, and essential for students of Rieff's theory of culture.

By Sigmund Freud

Translated by W. D. Robson-Scott. From the cover: Sigmund Freud wrote The Future of an Illusion late in his career, when his interest in psychoanalysis hadex- panded beyond his earlier clinical concerns, and when the problems of civilization itself occupied much of his attention. One of his most controversial and unsettling works, this book is as well one of his most striking con- tributions to the study of mankind. For Freud, religious ideas are born of the need ot make tolerable man's helplessness in his environment and are conceived ni man's memories of the helplessness of his own childhood and the childhood of the human race…

By Sigmund Freud. Translated By James Strachey

From the introduction: “The contrast between individual psychology and social or group psychology, which at a first glance may seem to be full of significance, loses a great deal of its sharp. ness when it is examined more closely. It is true that individual psychology is concerned with the individual man and explores the paths by which he seeks to find satisfaction for his instinctual impulses; but only rarely and under certain exceptional conditions is individual psychology in a position to disregard the relations of this individual to others. In the individ- ual's mental life someone else is invariably involved, as a model, as an object, as a helper, as an opponent; and so from the very first individual psychology, in this extended but entirely justifiable sense of the words, is at the same time social psychology as well.”

Translated from the German by Katherine Jones. From the cover: This volume contains Freud's speculations on various aspects of religion, on the basis of which he explains certain characteristics of the Jewish people in their relations with the Christians. From an intensive study of the Moses legend. Freud comes to the startling conclusion that Moses himself was an Egyptian who brought from his native country the religion he gave to the Jews. He accepts the hypothesis that Moses was murdered in the wilderness, but that his memory was cherished by the people and that his religious doctrine ultimately triumphed. Freud develops his general theory of monotheism, which enables him to throw light on the development of Judaism and Christianity. "An epoch-making work. Professor Freud here ventures into fields hitherto unexplored. The assumptions and theories contained in this remarkable book are sufficiently counterbalanced by historical facts to warrant its validity."-A. A. Brill, M.D.

Authorized Translation Under The Supervision Of Joan Riviere

From the editorial preface: “[T]hese Collected Papers, of which the present is the first volume, constitute the real basis of Psycho-Analysis. All Professor Freud's other work and theories areessentially founded on the clinical investigations of which these papers are the only published record. It is unfortunate that the English-speaking public should for years have had access only to what may be called the superstructure of his work, the application of his psycho-analytic method to the study of dreams, sexuality, totemism, and so on, while the basis of it all remained buried in a foreign tongue. It is now proposed to fill this central lacuna in English psycho-analytical literature by publishing, in four or more volumes, a translation of the Sammlung kleiner Schriften zur Neurosenlehre. Incidentally it may be said that the papers in this series have been re-grouped, in co-operation with Professor Freud, so that they do not follow the same order as that of the German original.”

By Frank J. Sulloway

From the cover: In this monumental itellectual biography, Frank Sulloway demonstrates that Freud always remained, despite his denials, a "biologist of the mind" and, indeed, that his most ereative inspirations derived significantly from biology. Sulloway analyzes the political aspects of the complex myth of Freud as "psychoanalytic hero" as it served to consolidate the analytic movement. This is a revolutionary reassessment of Freud and psychoanalysis.

BY Sigmund Freud

From the cover: A twentieth century classic. If any work in the twentieth century ean be sald to have revolution- ized the patterns of modern thaught and scientific inquiry, it si THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS. Freud himself sald: "It contains the most valuableof al the discoveries it has been my good fortune to make.” This translation by James Strachey is the definitive one incorporatIng al the alterations, additions, and deletions Freud made over a thirty-year period. The detailed commentary and scrupulous cross referencing enable the reader to understand clearly the development of Freud's thought. The publication of THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS marked the real beginning of psychoanalysis and of the pervasive psychoanalytic view of man and society.

There is nothing flat about Freud’s own self-portrait, as given informally in his letters. Told from the inside, Freud’s life takes on depth, even heroic proportion, not because of the external pace of events, which is in fact steady, but, rather, because of the heavy burden of knowingness about life that Freud carried from the beginning, on his back, as it were. Yet he never bent over in defeat; difficult as he found the task, he forced himself to remain emotionally and morally upright to the last, “defiant” of his corrupting knowl­edge — although as he himself admitted, in a letter splendid with modesty, he did not know quite why he thus main­tained his integrity. All he knew, at the end of his life, was that, as a moral man, he could not be otherwise.
