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.

Out of date theories, unfinished outline. Male chauvinist

November 16, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This was assigned reading for a Liberal Studies seminar class at a local state university. It is a posthumous, unfinished work in which Freud recaps his dogma in a simple format. Chapter IX, on the superego, is a fragment.
Most useful is the introduction by Peter Gay. The translation is not new, by James Strachey. New to this edition is an editorial note by Masud R. Khan. Editor's Note is unsigned. Gay's introduction is very useful, especially at its last pages, where he discusses About this book.
Freud has a Preface, very short, where he states his purpose. It is rather defensive on how he arrived at his judgments. In the main text he rebuts his critics on several occasions.
There is no need to go through all his arguments -- that would take too long. He defines and describes his various concepts as positive scientific conclusions, assuming what he found is universally applicable. He discusses instincts, who, id, sex function, consciousness, preconscious, psychical process, and much else. He spends much time on psychosis and the meaning of dreams, also infantile sexuality, incest, repression, and so forth.
There are people who say you have to love Freud. No one has to love Freud, especially as he has long been discredited by many others. I suppose this book served as an introduction to his ideas, for that it was probably why it was assigned to this class on the nature of man. Freud is defensive in his tone, yet dogmatic in other passages. I tend to disagree with his conclusions, as persons from different races and cultures would not have the same psychological apparatus that Freud thinks is universal. He is also a male chauvinist in his belief that women will defer to male authority. In this day and age that does not happen.
Though a famous, unfinished work, I found it irritating and give it only two stars. Other psychiatrists in more recent decades have supplanted his ideas with other theories.

At eighty-two, Freud's writing was as vivid as ever ...

June 16, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

At eighty-two, Freud's writing was as vivid as ever. In this three-part book, he summarizes the ideas he had been writing about for over 38 years. Instead of his usual writing style of proposing ideas and defending them with clinical data, literature review, social events, etc., he just summarizes them into their most basic components. The shift to a description without justification style turns it into a breath of fresh air. The advantage of this change is that one can see the finalized ideas presented by Freud, especially considering he usually goes back and forth with them. The negative side is that if you are familiar with the majority of the work, it tends to seem repetitive. Also, he did not finish this book, which means that once the book gets interesting, he stops in the middle of the...

It's a classic

As the title suggests, this book lays the foundation for psycho-analysis. If you have an interest in psychology or philosophy, you need to read this book. It's a classic.

Likely not for beginners, may be great for students.

March 9, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I picked this up out of sheer curiosity about the subject. I'm by no means an expert or student of psychology and have only taken a couple courses for college... so this book didn't help me much. It's very dry and seems to be more advanced than I expected for an intro book. I also didn't follow it well.

I didn't finish the book to the end, but got a good ways through it before deciding it wasn't for me. It would likely be better for students or more advanced readers.

This book is a great book to read. It analyzes many different aspects of psychic apparatus. It is enhancing and refreshing. As usual Freud touches on dreams and religions to make sense of the world around us through our psychic apparatus.

Analysis of Freud's Book of Psychoanalysis

September 21, 2007

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Freud, surprisingly, does a fine job in explicating the basic ideas behind Psychoanalysis. Unlike other texts which can use pretty complicated and verbose language, Freud (and the editors) used clear and easy to read syntax. I recommend this book for any looking to get a basic understanding of Psychoanalysis or to further enhance an undergraduate or graduate class.

Classic Work, Bargain Price

December 15, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is an entirely satisfactory edition of Freud's last published work made available at a surprisingly low price. I probably could not have found it in any local retail outlet, certainly not at so low a price. All shipping costs were eliminated with my Amazon Prime membership.
