Group Psychology And The Analysis Of The Ego

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.”

Moses and Monotheism

By Sigmund Freud.

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.

Totem And Taboo: Resemblances between the psychic lives of savages and neurotics

By Sigmund Freud.

Authorized translation with an introduction by A. A. Brill, Ph.B., M.D. From the cover: In this brilliant exploratory attempt (written in 1912- 1913) to extend the analysis of the individual psyche to society and culture, Freud laid the lines for much of his later thought, and made a major contribution ot the psychology of religion. Primitive societies and the individual, he found, mutually illuminate each other, and the psychology of primitive races bears marked resemblances ot the psychology of neurotics. Basing his investigations on the findings of the anthropologists, Freud came to the conclusion that totemism and its accompanying restriction of exogamy derive from the savage's dread of incest, and that taboo customs parallel closely the symptoms of compulsion neurosis. The killing of the "primal father" and the consequent sense of guilt are seen as determining events both in the misty tribal pre-history of mankind, and in the suppressed wishes of individual men. Both totemism and taboo are thus held to have their roots in the Oedipus complex, which lies at the basis of all neurosis, and, as Freud argues, is also the origin of religion, ethics, society, and art.

The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud

By Ernest Jones

Edited and Abridged by Lionel Trilling and Steven Marcus. From the cover: Here now is Jones's Freud, edited and abridged in a single volume. To accomplish it, the editors have deleted those portions of the original trilogy which dealt principally with the technical as- pects of Freud's work. The result is a new classic for the general reader. Freud's childhood and adolescence; the excitement and trials of his four-year engagement to Martha Bernays, as re- vealed in their love letters; his carly ex- periments with hypnotism and cocaine; the incredible freeing of his creative powers through self-analysis; the slow rise of his reputation and the constant battles against distortion and personal slander; the painful defections of some of his close associates; the years of interna- tional eminence; the onset of the cancer from which he suffered for sixteen years; his seizure by the Gestapo in Nazified Austria; his stoicism in the face of an agonizing death- all this is unfolded ni a book that remains, in the words of The New York Times, "one of the outstanding biographies of the age," and which now emerges as more readable, more affecting, more inspiring than before.

Sigmund Freud Collected Papers Volume 3

Authorized Translation By Alix And James Strachey.

From Chapter 1. “Tin 1895 and I896 I pu tforward certain views upon the pathogenesis of hysterical symptoms and upon the mental processes occurring in hysteria. Since that time several years have passed. In now proposing, therefore, to substantiate those views by giving a detailed report of the history of a case and its treatment, I cannot avoid making a few introductory remarks, for the purpose partly of justifying from Various points of view the step 1 am takings, and partiy of diminishing teh expectations to which it will give rise. Certainly it was awkward that I was obliged to publish the results of my inquiries without there being any possibility of other specialists testing and checking them, particularly as those results were of a surprising and by no means gratifying character…”

Sigmund Freud Collected Papers Volume 4. Papers On Metapsychology Papers, On Applied Psycho-Analysis

Authorized Translation Under The Supervision Of Joan Riviere.

From the editorial preface: This volume illustrates again the difficulty of classifying papers which range oversuch a variety of topics. The first eight constitute a unity in a way in which the others donot. They treat of mental processesfrom the point of view which Professor Freud has described as metapsychological, a term which is perhaps not too happily chosen. By this he means the consideration of a given mental process in what he regards as the most complete manner possible, that is, when treated topographically, dynamically a n d economic- ally; he would not be satisfied unless it proved capable of being treated from these three points of view. From this series we might single out theessay on The Unconscious for special attention….

Sigmund Freud. Collected Papers Volume V: Miscellaneous Papers, 1888-1938

By Sigmund Freud

From the Editorial Note: The bulk of the contents of this Fifth Volume of Freud's Collected Papers is made up of his shorter writings published since the issue of the Fourth Volume in 1925. The opportunity has, however, been taken of including a number of carlier papers which, for various reasons, were omitted from the firsť four volumes of this series. Finally, a selection has also been included of his very scanty posthumous works, which were published in German under the title of Schriften aus dem Nachlassin I94I. About a dozen of the papers included in this volume (Nos. II A, B and C, III, IV, V, VIII B, IX, XIV, XXIX and XXXII) now appear for the first time in English. Of the remainder, the majority were first published in English in the International Journal of Psycho-Analysis, while a few have been collected from other sources. ÁIl of these have been revised and in a number of instances (Nos. VI, VIII A, C and D, XIX, XXII and XXV) fresh translations have been made for the present volume. The whole of the material has been arranged, with one or two small exceptions, in chronological order. Details of the origin of each paper will be found in a footnote at its beginning, and a complete list of references appears at the end of the whole book. As in the earlier volumes in the series, the translator's name is appended to each paper.

Freud, Biologist of the Mind: Beyond The Psychoanalytic Legend

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.

Freud: The Mind of the Moralist

By Philip Rieff.

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.
