(P/B) THE STANDARD EDITION OF THE COMPLETE PSYCHOLOGICAL WORKS OF SIGMUND FREUD (VOLUME 20) 1925-1926

Παρουσίαση

As Freud explains in his "Postscript" (p. 71), the English translation of this work, when it was first published in America in 1927, was included in the same volume as his discussion of "lay analysis"; but the Autobiographical Study was not mentioned either on the title-page or on the outer cover of the book. When the work was taken over by a new American publisher eight years later, he suggested to Freud that it should be revised and brought up to date. Thus the new material appeared in English before its publication in German. Volume XI of the Gesammelte Schnften, published in 1928, of course only gives the text of the first edition. Volume XIV of the Gesammelte Werke, published in 1948, gives a photographic reproduction of that version, together with the new footnotes which had been added in the second edition. Unfortunately, however, the fact was overlooked that a considerable number of changes and additions had been made in the actual text of the work. These are consequently not included in the Gessamelte Werke, though they will naturally be found in the editions of the book issued separately (1936 and 1946). These omissions are noted in the English translation below. We learn from Ernest Jones (1957, 123) that the main work was written in August and September, 1924, and actually appeared in February, 1925; the 'Postscript' was completed by May, 1935.
