An enduring classic of modern psychology, A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis presents the foundational lectures of Sigmund Freud, delivered in Vienna during the early 20th century. In these talks, Freud introduces key principles of the unconscious, dream interpretation, neuroses, and the structure of the psyche — concepts that shaped psychiatry, literature, and cultural theory for generations.
This 1938 De Luxe Edition, issued by Garden City Publishing Company, offers a complete and readable early printing of the authorized English translation by Joan Riviere, with insightful prefaces by Freud’s close colleagues Ernest Jones and G. Stanley Hall.
A handsome vintage copy for readers and collectors interested in Freudian psychology, psychoanalytic history, or early 20th-century thought.
Originally published in 1920 and revised in 1935, Freud’s General Introduction became the most widely read summary of his theories. The 1938 De Luxe Edition remains collectible for its classic midcentury presentation and association with both Freud’s legacy and the influence of Edward L. Bernays, Freud’s nephew, who held the U.S. rights.
One hardcover book — A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud (Garden City Publishing Company, 1938).
