Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Freud's excellent lectures introducing the key pillars of psychoanalytic practice and theory are presented here complete in hardcover. Delivered between 1915 and 1917, the lectures detail theories pioneered by Freud. Delivered in the later part of his career, these lectures are a retrospective summary of the ideas which revolutionized psychology in the early 20th century. It is here that the fully-formed ideas are expressed clearly, with the added benefit of experiences Freud had in employing his methods to treat sufferers of mental illness and neuroses. The translation of the lectures to English was accomplished by Freud's contemporary G. Stanley Hall. Since appearing in 1920, this rendition of the lectures has been praised for accurately relaying the concepts, theory and practices behind Freudian psychoanalysis. This edition also contains an introductory preface by Hall, who explains the intellectual context and rival theories present in the-then fledgling scientific discipline of psychology.

Freud's timeless lectures on psychoanalytic thought, dream interpretation, and his theory of the neuroses are presented here in their authoritative translation to English by G. Stanley Hall. First delivered and published between 1915 and 1917, these lectures see a mature Freud expound on his theories and practices which at the time were revolutionary. While generally outdated in the modern setting, the methods detailed were valuable as a benchmark upon which future psychologists and psychiatrists built in subsequent years. Designed to introduce the enthusiastic layman to the psychoanalytic techniques Freud spent decades developing and refining, A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis ranges across several key tenets of Freudian thought. Several lectures concern the means by which dreams may be interpreted as an insight into the state of the patient's psyche, with symbols and memories of the distant past particularly cited.
