Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is known around the world as the Father of Psychoanalysis, and for good reason. If anything, Freuds first patient was himself. A sufferer of psychosomatic symptoms, Freud diagnosed himself as having a repressed antagonism against his father. From there, Freud began to build on his now famous concepts of the unconscious, infantile sexuality and repression.

In addition to all but creating a new field of science, Freud also contributed to entire industries. One of the first to try to analyze dreams, Freuds work has led patients in search of psychological explanations for various physical and mental symptoms and phenomena. And as a practitioner for many years, Freud wrote voluminously about his theories during the early 20th century.

This edition of Freuds Selected Papers on Hysteria and Other Psychoneuroses is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen pictures of Freud, his life and work.
