About This Item
London, UK : The Hogarth Press, 1950 The Hogarth Press, London, UK. 1950. hardcover. Stated 5th Impression. The International Psycho-Analytical Library No. 26. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for pen notations on pages 60-62. Book Condition: Very Good +; light shelfwear to head, tail, and tips; light rubbing to boards. Green cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 137 pp 8vo. Reprint of 1927 First English Edition. Professor Freud's autobiography, first published in English in 1927, is written in his usual forceful, straightforward and frank style, which has now become so familiar to readers of psychoanalytic literature. The autobiography as a whole is really a condensed account of the development of the psychoanalytic concepts as they unfolded themselves in Professor Freud's mind, and he says this much of it and adds that "no personal experiences of mine are of any interest in comparison to my relation with that science." A clean very presentable copy.
