This is the second volume of the works of Karl Abraham, whose "Selected Papers on Psycho-Analysis" (catalogue number 2483) is one of the most widely read and highly valued classics on the subject. The first part of this book contains short clinical papers on a wide range of subjects, including The Psychogenesis of Agoraphobia in Childhood, The Role of Grandparents in the Psychology of Neurosis, The Emotional Relationships of Little Girls towards their Parents, early Infantile Thinking, and others.
The following sections of the book consist of eight longer essays that make fascinating and instructive reading. For example, that on Dreams and Myths shows how the psychoanalytical method of dream interpretation is used to elicit the inner meaning of myths such as that of Prometheus, as well as Bible stories such as those of Moses and Sampson. Another presents a psychoanalytic study of a painter that contributes to an understanding of artists and their work. The final essay discusses Coue's method of autosuggestion in the light of Freud's work on group psychology.
