First edition in English, US issue, first state. "This is unquestionably Freud's greatest single work. It contains all the basic components of psychoanalytic theory and practice; the erotic nature of dreams, the 'Oedipus complex', the libido, and the rest; all related to the background of the 'unconscious', later to be called the 'sub-conscious'" (PMM).

Provenance: the American poet and New York socialite Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff (1888-1967), with her engraved pictorial bookplate. One of her closest friends was the German-American writer George Sylvester Viereck (1884-1962), a devotee of Freudian psychology. In 1923 Viereck published a popular science book, Rejuvenation: How Steinach Makes People Young, which drew Freud's attention. Diagnosed with oral cancer in early 1923, Freud underwent a series of unsuccessful surgeries before deciding to have a Steinach vasectomy that November. Named after the Viennese physiologist Eugen Steinach, the operation promised physical, mental, and sexual rejuvenation. Despite its inefficacy, the popularity of the Steinach procedure reflected the obsessive pursuit of medical rejuvenation in the early 20th century. Viereck subsequently travelled to Vienna to interview Freud, after which they maintained a steady correspondence. Grinstein 227. See Printing and the Mind of Man 389 for the German edition. Octavo.

Summary: "The Interpretation of Dreams" by Sigmund Freud is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This seminal work explores the psychology of dreams and their significance in understanding human behavior and the unconscious mind. Freud proposes that dreams serve as a window into our deepest desires, fears, and conflicts, offering valuable insights for psychological treatment and self-understanding. At the start of the text, Freud introduces the purpose and scope of his investigation into dreams, asserting that they hold significant psychological meaning rather than being mere products of chance. He discusses the historical context of dream analysis and critiques previous literature, emphasizing the gap in understanding dreams that his work aims to fill. Freud outlines his method of dream interpretation and foreshadows the exploration of the relationship between dreams and various aspects of human psychology, setting the stage for his groundbreaking theories regarding the psyche and the role of dreams in both mental health and personal insight.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. The scientific literature of dream-problems (up to 1900). 2. The method of dream interpretation. 3. The dream as wish-fulfillment. 4. Distortion in dreams. 5. The material and sources of dreams. 6. The dream-work. 7. The psychology of the dream processes. What are the most common dreams and why do we have them? What does a dream about death mean? What do dreams of swimming, failing, or flying symbolize? First published by Sigmund Freud in 1899, The Interpretation of Dreams considers why we dream and what it means in the larger picture of our psychological lives. Delving into theories of manifest and latent dream content, the special language of dreams, dreams as wish fulfillments, the significance of childhood experiences, and much more, Freud, widely considered the "father of psychoanalysis," thoroughly and thoughtfully examines dream psychology. Encompassing dozens of case histories and detailed analyses of actual dreams, this landmark text presents Freud's legendary work as a tool for comprehending our sleeping experiences. Renowned for translating Freud's German writings into English, James Strachey-with the assistance of Anna Freud-first published this edition in 1953. Incorporating all textual alterations made by Freud over a period of thirty years, it remains the most complete translation of the work in print.

Illustrated with diagrams. A new translation by Joyce Crick based on the original text. First edition, first printing of the Oxford University Press edition of The Interpretation of Dreams. "One hundred years ago Sigmund Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams, a book that, like Darwin's Origin of the Species, revolutionized our understanding of human nature. Now this groundbreaking new translation - the first to be based on the original text published in November 1899 - brings us a more readable, more accurate, and more coherent picture of Freud's masterpiece. The first edition of The Interpretation of Dreams is much shorter than its subsequent editions; each time the text was reissued, from 1909 onwards, Freud added to it. The most significant, and in many ways the most unfortunate addition, is a 50-page section devoted to the kind of mechanical reading of dream symbolism - long objects equal male genitalia, etc. - that has gained popular currency and partially obscured Freud's more profound insights into dreams. In the original version presented here, Freud's emphasis falls more clearly on the use of words in dreams and on the difficulty of deciphering them. Without the strata of later additions, readers will find here a clearer development of Freud's central ideas - of dream as wish fulfillment, of the dream's manifest and latent content, of the retelling of dreams as a continuation of the dreamwork, and much more. Joyce Crick's translation is lighter and faster-moving than previous versions, enhancing the sense of dialogue with the reader, one of Freud's syllogistic strengths, and allowing us to follow Freud's theory as it evolved through difficult cases, apparently intractable counter-examples, and fascinating analyses of Freud's own dreams. The restoration of Freud's classic is a major event, giving us in a sense a new work by one of this century's most startling, original, and influential thinkers." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "It contains, even according to my present-day judgment, the most valuable of all the discoveries it has been my good fortune to make. Insight such as this falls to one's lot but once in a lifetime." - Freud, writing about The Interpretation of Dreams.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. "The Interpretation of Dreams (1899) originally published in German as Die Traumdeutung is considered Sigmund Freud s masterpiece. According to Freud, dreams are manifestations of repressed desires, and have an underlying meaning. He suggests methods of interpreting dreams imaginary wish fulfillments by exploring the process of dream formation in the absence of censorship, the role of the unconscious in this process, the distortions of subconscious desires in their transpositions in dreams, and more, through several case studies and his own dreams. He, thus, proposes the radical idea that the unconscious can be understood through an analysis of dreams. In this seminal work, Freud also introduces the concept of Oedipus Complex , which was to become one of Freud s most controversial ideas. The Interpretation of Dreams was reprinted seven times during Freud s lifetime, and has been the subject of much debate and speculation ever since." (jacket).
