An Outline of Psycho-Analysis (The Standard Edition) (Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud)

**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.** Freud approved the overall editorial plan, specific renderings of key words and phrases, and the addition of valuable notes, from bibliographical and explanatory. Many of the translations were done by Strachey himself; the rest were prepared under his supervision. The result was to place the __Standard Edition__ in a position of unquestioned supremacy over all other existing versions.Newly designed in a uniform format, each new paperback in the __Standard Edition__ opens with a biographical essay on Freud's life and work —along with a note on the individual volume—by Peter Gay, Sterling Professor of History at Yale. In June 1938, At Eighty-two, Freud Began Writing This Terse Survey Of The Fundamentals Of Psychoanalysis. He Marshals Here The Whole Range Of Psychoanalytic Theory And Therapy In Lucid Prose And Continues His Open-mindedness To New Departures, Such As The Potential Of Drug Therapy. While The Book Remains Unfinished, It Covers The Essentials Of Psychoanalysis -- Back Cover. Sigmund Freud: A Brief Life / Peter Gay -- The Psychical Apparatus -- The Theory Of The Instincts -- The Development Of The Sexual Function -- Psychical Qualities -- Dream-interpretation As An Illustration -- The Technique Of Psycho-analysis -- An Example Of Psycho-analytic Work -- The Psychical Apparatus And The External World -- The Internal World.

Includes Index. Bibliography: P. [103]-106. One of fifteen volumes in the new Freud series commissioned for Penguin by series editor Adam Phillips. Part of a plan to generate a new, non-specialist Freud for a wide readership, which goes way beyond the institutional/clinical market and presents material to the reader in a new way. This volume will contain NEW INTRODUCTORY LECTURES IN PSYCHOANALYSIS and AN OUTLINE OF PSYCHOANALYSIS. Psycho-analysis makes a basic assumption, the discussion of which is reserved to philosophical thought but the justification for which lies in its results.
