"No other major modern intellectualnot Marx, not Darwinrivals Freud as a popular advocate for his own views" (Stanford 1991, 69). This book was one of his first books to be published in America. It was copyrighted and promoted here by Edward Bernays, the great propagandist. In it, Freud, lays out all of his major ideas regarding the subject. The dust jacket states "The first comprehensive book on psychoanalysis. There are many treatises on various phases of the subject, but in this book the originator of a new school of thought that is as powerfully influential as was the Darwinian, at last sums up, in one volume, all that is known of psychoanalysis and explains its significance to the individual and society." No other examples in dust jacket on market and this is the first we've seen. One of Freud's most important works, comprehensively discussing his views on psychoanalysis, a discipline he had earlier created.
