Excerpt from Papers on Psycho-Analysis
The papers here collected have already appeared in print, for the most part in psychological journals that do not circulate widely among the medical profession. They constitute a selection of the authors contributions made during the past few years on the subject of psycho-analysis, and are now issued in a more accessible form in the hope of arousing further interest in this overneglected and important branch of scientific investigation. Being under no illusions as to any intrinsic importance of the papers apart from the subject to which they relate, or, therefore, as to their documentary value, the author has not hesitated to alter considerably their original form, by modifications and additions, wherever this has seemed desirable. They have been grouped under five headings, according to the particular topic with which they deal, but otherwise are printed in the order of their publication. Having regard to the difference in the familiarity with French and German respectively in this country, the author has left the quotations from the former language in the original and has appended translations to those from the latter.
A certain amount of repetition is unavoidable in a book thus constructed, but this presents advantages as well as disadvantages; a new thought has usually to be expressed more than once before the full import of it is appreciated. A more serious defect, against which those unfamiliar with the subject should especially be warned, is the extensive incompleteness of the book as an exposition of the Freudian theory.
