Further Contributions To The Theory And Technique Of Psycho Analysis

NY: Boni and Liveright, 1927. — 484 p.The courtesy of the Institute of Psycho-Analysis enables me to publish a second collection of my psycho-analytical writings in English; the first appeared in 1916 in the splendid translation of my honoured friend, Dr. Ernest Jones, under the title, Contributions to Psycho-Analysis.
The present collection in no way gives a systematic survey of the development of psycho-analysis in the intervening years, but only the disjointed papers which represent the author’s personal contribution to this development. Even in their diversity of form, perhaps in their very medley, I believe these papers give a true picture of the manifold interests which continually occupy the physician practising psycho-analysis, and which bring him into touch with the most varied fields of the natural and mental sciences. The personal inclinations of the author inevitably find expression; the outlook is predominantly that of the medical rather than that of the abstract sciences, and there gradually emerges a sort of psycho-analytical theory of one of the important manifestations of instinct— Genitality.
