FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH of Freud's introductory lectures on psychoanalysis. "Few, especially in this country, realize that while Freudian themes have rarely found a place on the programs of the American Psychological Association, they have attracted great and growing attention and found frequent elaboration by students...These twenty-eight lectures to laymen are elementary and almost conversational."
