Rating: ♥♥♥♥ (Fine)
Fine book, hard cover. Shelf worn, bend cover and spine but has all pages and leaves present, no tears in paper or spine.
This 1965 edition of Sigmund Freud’s work represents a mid‑century re‑presentation of some of the most influential ideas in the history of psychology and psychiatry. By the 1960s, Freud’s theories had long since shaped clinical practice, academic discourse, and cultural understanding of the mind, yet the period also marked a renewed interest in revisiting and systematizing his writings in light of contemporary developments in psychoanalysis and emerging psychological models.
Som du selv skriver på siden, rummer denne udgave centrale tekster, hvor Freud udfolder sine grundlæggende begreber om det ubevidste, driftslivet, personlighedsstrukturen og de dynamiske processer, der former menneskelig adfærd. Mid‑century udgaver som denne spillede en vigtig rolle i at fastholde Freuds indflydelse i en tid, hvor psykoanalysen både blev udfordret og videreudviklet af nye retninger — fra ego‑psykologi til objektrelationsteori og tidlige selvpsykologiske perspektiver.
The volume reflects the intellectual climate of the 1960s, where Freud’s original formulations were being reinterpreted, debated, and integrated into broader clinical frameworks. It offers readers access to the foundational texts that shaped modern understandings of psychopathology, personality development, and the therapeutic process.
Key themes in the 1965 edition
- the structure of the psyche (id, ego, superego)
- the dynamics of unconscious processes
- early psychoanalytic models of symptom formation
- the role of conflict, repression, and defence mechanisms
- foundational concepts in dream interpretation and symbolic meaning
- Freud’s influence on mid‑century clinical and theoretical developments
For researchers, the volume provides a valuable mid‑century lens on Freud’s enduring contributions and the ways in which his ideas continued to shape psychiatric and psychological discourse well into the 20th century.
Collector’s Note
Mid‑century editions of Freud’s works are increasingly sought after, not only for their historical significance but also for their role in transmitting psychoanalytic theory to new generations of clinicians and scholars. The 1965 volume is a strong addition to collections focused on the history of psychoanalysis, the development of modern psychotherapy, and the intellectual foundations of clinical psychology. Well‑preserved copies from this period are becoming progressively uncommon.
