Publisher's Note 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 this book remained unfinished, it covers the essentials of psychoanalysis.
Industry Reviews "'An Outline of Psychoanalysis' is to be read as a sort of intellectual last will and testament of its author. Read so, it can serve as the occasion of a great intellectual, moral, and even esthetic experience." New York Times Book Review - Lionel Trilling (02/27/1949)
