Contributions to Psycho-Analysis: Authorized Translation

Contributions to Psycho-Analysis: Authorized Translation (Classic Reprint)

Dr. Ferenczl is known as one of the leading exponents of psycho-analysis, and, apart, of course, from Professor Freud, has perhaps made more original contributions than anyone else to that subject. Before taking up the study of psycho-analysis he had for many years been engaged on neurological, psychiatrical and medicolegal work, and had made a number of contributions particularly on neurological and psychotherapeutic subjects. His extensive personal experience with the methods of hypnotism and suggestion gave him a specially favourable opportunity to compare and contrast the results thus obtained with those he was able later to obtain by the use of the psycho-analytic method. The greater part of his work has been published only in Hungarian; from that which has appeared in German I have selected for translation, with Dr. Ferenczi sapproval, some fifteen papers, which are here reproduced in the order of their original appearance. Of these only two, forming Chapters I and HI, were written from the point of view of popular exposition; the others are all of a more technical and advanced nature, being addressed to an audience already familiar with psycho-analytical principles. While this fact increases their value for serious students of the subject, there being little enough of such literature in English, it exposes many of the conclusions to ready misconception unless it be constantly borne in mind that a considerable knowledge of previous work is assumed throughout by the author.
