Sigmund Freud evolved his theories throughout his lifetime. This
entailed many revisions and changes which he himself never tried to
standardise rigidly into a definitive conceptual system. The need
for some sort of a reliable guide which would spell out both the
pattern of the evolution of Freud's thinking, as well as establish
its inherent logic, was felt for a long time by both scholars and
students of psychoanalysis. Drs Laplanche and Pontalis of the
Association Psychanalytique de France succeeded admirably in
providing a dictionary of Freud's concepts which is more than a
compilation of mere definitions. After many years of creative and
industrious research, they were able to give an authentic account
of the evolution of each concept with pertinent supporting texts
from Freud's own writing (in the Standard Edition translation), and
thus have endowed us with an instrument for work and research which
is characterised by its thoroughness, exactitude and lack of
prejudice towards dogma. The Language of Psychoanalysis is an
established classic that will long continue to be of invaluable use
to both the student and the research-worker in psychoanalysis.
