The literature of psychoanalysis from its inception to 1926 is
conveniently available in John Rickman’s _Index Psychoanalyticus,
1893-1926_. The _Gesammelte Schriften_ of Sigmund Freud have been
published by the Internationaler Psychoanalytischer Verlag, Vienna,
in eleven volumes. This publishing house puts out most of the
literature of the circle around Freud. Of Freud’s books the beginner
may be referred to his _General Introduction to Psychoanalysis,
The Interpretation of Dreams_, and _Three Contributions to Sexual
Theory_. An English edition of Freud’s collected papers is in
process of publication. The most important technical journal is the
_Internationale Zeitschrift für arztliche Psychoanalyse_. There is an
English journal, _The International Journal of Psycho-Analysis_, and
an American one, _The Psychoanalytic Review_. (A French periodical has
recently appeared.)
Among the “orthodox” psychoanalytical treatises the following are of
particular importance:
Ferenczi, S. _Bausteine zur Psychoanalyse_. Leipzig, 1926.
----. _Versuch einer Genitaltheorie_. Leipzig, 1924.
Ferenczi, S., and Hollos, S. _Psychoanalysis and the Psychic
Disorder of General Paresis_, “Nervous and Mental Disease Monograph
Series,” No. 42. New York and Washington, 1925.
The psychological manifestations of a physical disease are
predicted on the basis of the psychoanalytical theory of
personality development. Of great methodological importance.

etc., 1925.

formation. Amplified in many directions by Jones, Glover, etc.
Alexander, S. _Psychoanalyse der Gesamtpersönlichkeit_. Leipzig,

to the data of experimental psychology.
