The Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud
by Sigmund Freud
2024 · Bloomsbury Publishing USA
The long-awaited Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud (RSE) is founded on the canonical Standard Edition (SE) translation from the German by James Strachey, while adding a new layer of revisions and translations. Conceptual and lexicographic ambiguities are clarified in extensive new annotations. Drawing on established conventions and intellectual traditions, the Revised Standard Edition supplements Freud's writing with substantial editorial commentaries addressing controversial technical terms and translation issues through the lens of modern scholarship-a living text in dialogue with itself and the reader. The RSE also includes 56 essays and letters which were not included in the SE. In the RSE text and footnotes a subtle underlining distinguishes, in an easy and accessible way, Mark Solms's revisions and additions, from the historical translation and commentaries of James Strachey's Standard Edition. Readers can examine what Strachey contributed before the revisions in tandem with Solms's updates, new translations, annotations, and commentaries, collectively bringing Freud's text and Strachey's translation into dialogue with five decades of research, including the most recent developments in the field. Commissioned by the British Psychoanalytical Society and co-published by Rowman & Littlefield, the Revised Standard Edition brings together decades of scholarly deliberation concerning the translation of Freudian technical terms while retaining the best of Strachey's original English translation.This landmark work will captivate a wide audience, from interested lay readers to practicing clinicians to scientists and scholars in fields related to psychoanalysis. Special Features: New Freud material, including 56 notes, essays, and letters that were not included in the Standard Edition.

If in what follows I bring any contribution to the history of the psychoanalytic movement nobody must be surprised at the subjective nature of this paper, nor at the rôle which falls to me therein. For psychoanalysis is my creation; for ten years I was the only one occupied with it, and all the annoyance which this new subject caused among my contemporaries has been hurled upon my head in the form of criticism. Even today, when I am no longer the only psychoanalyst, I feel myself justified in assuming that none can know better than myself what psychoanalysis is, wherein it differs from other methods of investigating the psychic life, what its name should cover, or what might better be designated as something else. - Sigmund Freud Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.
