Publisher's Note In these lectures, which Freud gave in 1915-16 and 1916-17 at the University of Vienna, Freud gradually brings his audience into the ambiance of psychoanalytic ideas. He begins with the subject of slips of various kinds, continues with the topic of dreams, and concludes with the more difficult subject matter of the neuroses. The lectures were a success when he delivered them and an even greater success in print.
Industry Reviews "For a comprehensive introduction to Freud's own writings, there is no doubt that the Introductory Lectures and the New Introductory Lectures are the easiest reading....They make a tome (almost 700 pages) rather than a book, and I personally prefer, for the New Lectures at least, the old and less pedantic translation by W.J. H. Sprott (with Strachey's help) put out by the same publisher [BRD 1933]....the new collection is recommended fot those who like, or should own for professional reasons, thick books with lots of footnotes and cross-references." New York Times Book Review - Eric Berne (03/12/1967)
