Description:
Leipzig: Deuticke, 1905. FIRST EDITION. Original printed wrappers preserved in a clamshell box.. An excellent copy with the back strip redone. First edition of the work which Freud himself considered second in importance only to his Die Traumdeutung. Freud introduces here his epochal theory of infantile sexuality, which linked the forces motivating the development of body and mind from earliest infancy, a contribution of utmost value. Infantile sexuality was a fact known, Freud said, to every nursemaid, yet the Three essays provoked (and still provokes) considerable controversy in both scientific and popular sectors. The importance of the Three essays to Freud is underscored by the fact that it was the only book besides The interpretation of dreams that he submitted to constant revision, with six editions published in his lifetime.

Description:
1926. Manuscrit. Bon. En Feuilles. In-4. Manuscrit autographe (parafé deux fois en tête) de 40 pp. in-4 (nombreuses ratures et corrections) et tapuscrit avec corrections autographes de 20 pp. in-4. Le tapuscrit est la mise au propre du manuscrit. L'ensemble est à notre connaissance inédit. Dans son "Histoire de la psychanalyse en France" (t. 1, p. 313 sq.) Elisabeth Roudinesco cite, parmi les trois articles capitaux de Pichon, un article de 1928 publié dans la revue de Janet ("Le Journal de Psychologie"), "Sur la signification psychologique de la négation en français" où il présente le concept de "forclusion", devenant ainsi "l'initiateur d'un moment théorique essentiel de l'histoire du mouvement psychanalytique français". Or cette conférence de 1927 prépare l'article de 1928 (auquel Jacques Lacan fera souvent référence) et les… Read More

Description:
Leipzig: Felix Meiner, 1925. First edition off-print of Sigmund Freud's autobiography, inscribed on the top cover, "Seimen lieben / O. Pfister / Freud / 12.2.25." The book is further inscribed by Pfister on the blank recto of the frontispiece, " Seimen lieben Freunde / Prof. R. Brandt / In herzlicher Gesinnung / Zurich 24.4.55." Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis. Oskar Pfister (1873-1956) was a Swiss Lutheran minister and lay psychoanalyst born in Zurich, Switzerland. He is perhaps best known for applying psychoanalysis to the science of education, as well as a belief system combining psychoanalytic psychology and theology. In Zurich, he was in close intellectual proximity to Eugen Bleuler and Carl Jung. The friendship between Freud and Pfister is well documented, lasting over 30 years and only ending upon Freud's death. Less is known about Professor Brandt, though he is believed to have completed his Ph.D. in… Read More

Throughout his career he advocated for more humane treatment of lunatics and maniacs. In this work he introduces his swinging technique, based on a design by Erasmus Darwin, of spinning a patient's body round a vertical axis in a specially designed chair which would produce nausea, vomiting, and convulsions, but would ultimately lead… Read More

Description:
First edition of perhaps the greatest contribution to our knowledge of the physiology of digestion' (Garrison-Morton), containing the first demonstration of what Pavlov later named the "conditioned reflex". Pavlov was the first to successfully devise a method of studying the physiology of digestion in healthy animals. In 1852, Friedrich Bidder and Carl Schmidt had observed that the sight of food produced a flow of gastric juices in a dog, but Pavlov was the first researcher to observe the process in its entirety and to do so without injury to the animal subject.
For his work in the physiology of digestion Pavlov was awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology in 1904.
Octavo (186 x 136 mm). 16 wood-engraved diagrams. Contemporary half roan (bumped, rubbed, with loses). Number of bookworm holes up to page 4. Provenance: S.R. (superexlibris).
