<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Of the various English translations of Freud's major works to appear in his lifetime, only one was authorized by Freud himself: <em>The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud</em> under the general editorship of James Strachey.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Freud approved the overall editorial plan, specific renderings of key words and phrases, and the addition of valuable notes, from bibliographical and explanatory. Many of the translations were done by Strachey himself; the rest were prepared under his supervision. The result was to place the Standard Edition in a position of unquestioned supremacy over all other existing versions.</p><p>Newly designed in a uniform format, each new paperback in the Standard Edition opens with a biographical essay on Freud's life and work --along with a note on the individual volume--by Peter Gay, Sterling Professor of History at Yale.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>In 1909 Freud delivered five lectures at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. He spoke on the foundations of psychoanalysis, and the lectures were published the following year. Until the far more extensive Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis, Five Lectures on Psycho-Analysis was the authoritative summary of Freud's ideas, and it remains a lucid general introduction.
