First published in 1947, with a second edition in 1950, the
original blurb reads: 'This is an illuminating description of a
complete Freudian analysis of a single case. From the first
interview to the last the reader’s attention is engrossed with
the almost-normal personality of the individual who is being
analysed. We see his thoughts, philosophy, and emotions gradually
unfolding under the application of analytical technique (lightly
explained in the second chapter), until – and this is where the
book is such a tremendous advance upon the psychological novel –
the very springs and mechanisms of his psychic pattern and
emotional structure are abundantly and lucidly revealed. We see and
understand the hidden depths of the nature of the human mind, and
obtain introductory insight not only into normal mental
functioning, but into almost all its psychopathic aberrations
including frigidity, impotence, love, hate, hysteria, obsessions,
and even paranoia and schizophrenia – all in minor degrees an
integral part of normality. In spite of this the book is light
reading and, though particularly instructive to doctor and
professional psychologist, understandable to the average
intelligent layman.' This book is a re-issue originally published
in 1950. The language used is a reflection of its era and no
offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this
re-publication.
