About this title

Synopsis

This rare book contains the first volume of Wilhelm Stekel’s Compulsion and Doubt, which covers a range of psychological aberrations, their symptoms, causes, and possible treatments. A fascinating treatise on the subject, this book is written with the accessibility Stekel is famous for and constitutes a brilliant resource for students and practitioners alike. Chapters contained within this text include: The Tragedy of the Physical; The Liquidation of the Incest Complex; The Effect onto Infinity; Compulsion and Impotence; Homosexuality and Patricide; Neurotic Goals, Leitmotives; and the Central Idea; The Flight from the Ego; et cetera. Originally published in 1922, this scarce antiquarian book has been chosen for republication because of its immense educational value and is proudly republished here with a new prefatory biography of the author. Wilhelm Stekel was a prominent Austrian psychologist, most famous for being one of Freud’s earliest and most accomplished students. Other notable works of his include: The Interpretation of Dreams: New Developments and Technique (1943) and Technique of Analytical Psychotherapy(1950).
