An Autobiographical Study
Freud approved the overall editorial plan, specific renderings of key words and phrases, and the addition of valuable notes, from bibliographical and explanatory. Many of the translations were done by Strachey himself; the rest were prepared under his supervision. The result was to place the Standard Edition in a position of unquestioned supremacy over all other existing versions.Newly designed in a uniform format, each new paperback in the Standard Edition opens with a biographical essay on Freud's life and work--along with a note on the individual volume--by Peter Gay, Sterling Professor of History at Yale.

About the author
Sigmund Freud
4,402 books8,457 followersDr. Sigismund Freud (later changed to Sigmund) was a neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, who created an entirely new approach to the understanding of the human personality. He is regarded as one of the most influential—and controversial—minds of the 20th century.
In 1873, Freud began to study medicine at the University of Vienna. After graduating, he worked at the Vienna General Hospital. He collaborated with Josef Breuer in treating hysteria by the recall of painful experiences under hypnosis. In 1885, Freud went to Paris as a student of the neurologist Jean Charcot. On his return to Vienna the following year, Freud set up in private practice, specialising in nervous and brain disorders. The same year he married Martha Bernays, with whom he had six children.
Freud developed the theory that humans have an unconscious in which sexual and aggressive impulses are in perpetual conflict for supremacy with the defences against them. In 1897, he began an intensive analysis of himself. In 1900, his major work 'The Interpretation of Dreams' was published in which Freud analysed dreams in terms of unconscious desires and experiences.
In 1902, Freud was appointed Professor of Neuropathology at the University of Vienna, a post he held until 1938. Although the medical establishment disagreed with many of his theories, a group of pupils and followers began to gather around Freud. In 1910, the International Psychoanalytic Association was founded with Carl Jung, a close associate of Freud's, as the president. Jung later broke with Freud and developed his own theories.
After World War One, Freud spent less time in clinical observation and concentrated on the application of his theories to history, art, literature and anthropology. In 1923, he published 'The Ego and the Id', which suggested a new structural model of the mind, divided into the 'id, the 'ego' and the 'superego'.
In 1933, the Nazis publicly burnt a number of Freud's books. In 1938, shortly after the Nazis annexed Austria, Freud left Vienna for London with his wife and daughter Anna.
Freud had been diagnosed with cancer of the jaw in 1923, and underwent more than 30 operations. He died of cancer on 23 September 1939.

„Toate discutiile despre etiologia nevrozelor vor lua sfarsit in ziua in care vom decide sa le transferam pe terenul nevrozelor infantile. Este suficient sa facem o analiza constiincioasa si amanuntita a unei nevroze din prima copilarie si vom vedea cum dispar toate erorile privitoare la etiologia nevrozelor si toate dubiile ce privesc rolul pulsiunilor sexuale.”
„Oamenii sunt puternici atata vreme cat apara o idee puternica; devin neputinciosi indata ce doresc sa se opuna unei idei puternice. Psihanaliza va trece cu bine peste aceste pierderi si va gasi, pentru a le compensa, noi partizani.”
Sigmund Freud, cunoscutul medic neuropsihiatru austriac de etnie evreiasca, supranumit parintele psihanalizei, si a dedicat intreaga viata cercetarilor medicale, cu precadere asupra neurologiei si a descoperirii afectiunilor din sfera inconstientului uman. Parcursul acestuia nu a fost unul lin, deoarece s-a lovit constant de nenumarate impotriviri asupra acceptarii psihanalizei ca metoda de tratament.
Anul 1885 ii aduce oportunitatea de a studia la spitalul Salpetriere, la Paris, acolo unde il intalneste pe ilustrul medic Charcot, cel care trata tulburarile nervoase prin hipnoza. Astfel apare interesul lui Freud pentru psihopatologie, iar mai tarziu isi deschide un cabinet privat de psihiatrie, insa metodele lui sunt privite cu reticenta, din cauza faptului ca acesta a imbratisat teoriile lui Charcot, consdierate neordodoxe de catre medicii vienezi. Cu toate acestea, Freud reuseste sa adune in jurul lui oameni cu aceleasi viziuni si pune bazele Societatii Internationale de Psihanaliza, alaturi de Adler, Bleuler si Jung, personaje istorice de renume pentru acel secol.
Autobiografia de fata este scrisa in 1925, in momentul in care Freud fusese deja diagnosticat cu cancer al maxilarului, insa moartea lui survine abia in 1939, la varsta de 83 de ani, eutanasiat la cererea sa.
Acestea sunt doar cateva date despre viata marelui om de stiinta, gandurile, reflectiile si trairile sale putand fi descoperite citind cartea de fata, aparuta la Editura Herald. Pentru mine lecturarea cartii a decurs extrem de rapid, deoarece cunosteam marea majoritate a informatiilor din cartea Viata lui Freud, de Irving Stone, care s-a dovedit a fi o carte extrem de bine documentata si, dupa parerea mea, cu mult peste acest volum. Personal aveam mai multe asteptari de la autobiografia parintelui psihanalizei, insa este cu siguranta o carte valoroasa, pe care o recomand celor care doresc sa afle cateva informatii de baza despre Freud.

Gospon Freud je meni bio dosadan. :-/ Za laika kao što sam ja, nakon slušanja audio knjige, ništa nisam ni pametnija niti mi je išta o čemu je pisao bilo jasnije. Ono što sam znala prije autobiografije, znam i nakon. Slušala sam audio knjigu u produkciji book&zvook i na taj dio nemam zamjerke.

An Autobiographical Study
lays emphasis on Freud’s professional rather than personal life. It is a record of his “accomplishments” in the history of psychoanalysis, written in a dry, at times even sardonic tone. Considering, just as he himself acknowledges, he had been more open and franker in other of his writings, such as
The Interpretation of Dreams
, perhaps he saw no need of revisiting his inner growth.
True enough, you will get a better sense of Freud’s mind by reading The Interpretation… since he always pursued his own self-analysis in everything he wrote. After all, “I am my most important patient,” as he is often quoted.
He calls Jung and Adler heretics. I imagine he called them a lot worse…

Recomand, mi-a plăcut tare mult. Abia aștept să citesc și perspectiva lui Jung asupra psihanalizei și a conflictului dintre ei.

کتاب مفیدی بود. فروید بهطور تقریبا جامع و کلی مفاهیم اصلی نظریهاش رو تعریف میکنه و فرآیند رسیدنِ به این مفاهیم هم کمی توضیح میده.
برای کسایی که میخوان یهآشنایی کلی از فروید و نظریاتش به دست بیارن مفیده و احتمالا کسایی مثلِ من که دنبالِ پیداکردنِ مسیرِ مطالعاتیِ مناسب، برای خوندنِ فرویدان.

O carte plină de informații interesante cu și despre una dintre cele mai luminate minți ale secolului trecut, Sigmund Freud.
"Printre alte teorii care, datorită lucrărilor mele, s-au adăugat precedeului cathartic, transformându-l în psihanaliză, voi menționa: teoria refulării și a rezistenței, concepția asupra sexualătății infantile, interpretarea viselor și utilizarea analizei pentru cunoaștelor inconștientului. "

December 27, 2020
Dincolo de explicațiile lucide ale scopului și rolului psihanalizei, am simtit cele două eseuri mai degrabă ca pe o poveste despre dezamăgire. Din resentimentele fățișe față de Jung și Adler reiese clar gradul de atașament al lui Freud față de cei doi și cât de afectat a fost de decizia lor de a cerceta pe cont propriu diferitele drumuri deschise de noua știință. Ceea ce mi se pare drăguț într-o oarecare măsură - pentru ca însuși marele psihanalist Freud se prezintă ca o persoană normală, cu resentimente, cu probleme de atașament încă nerezolvate (la 1925 cel puțin), cu o slăbiciune in fata morții (tocmai aflase că e diagnosticat cu cancer de maxilar), cu un grad ridicat de frustrare (datorat luptei continue cu cei care nu îl luau în serios).
Mai mult decât atât, cele două eseuri sunt o dovadă a luptei și a rezistenței. Cu toate că, surprinzător poate, el scrie că nu se consideră un luptător și se declară împotriva conflictelor (pe care le-a avut si le-a purtat din plin).
Acum pot să înțeleg de ce doar Freud ar fi putut să întemeieze această știință și cât de asemănători sunt din punct de vedere al sentimentelor pe care le trezesc in oameni. Freud are capacitatea fantastică de a enerva oamenii prin brutalitatea cu care își exprimă ideile. Pot să îmi imaginez cum a fost primit într-o societate puritană de intelectuali obișnuiți să se exprime doar prin filtrul diplomației și al "etichetei". Freud a intrat cu bocancii în moralitatea lor tot asa cum psihanaliza a venit și a dat peste cap tot ceea ce omenirea și creierul uman s-au străduit să țină ascuns.
Frumos, elegant.

لأول مرة يمتعنا فرويد بأسلوب مغاير عن السرد الموضوعي ليكتب هذا الكتاب في أواخر حياته ملخصًا بها زبدة نظرياته، وذلك عن طريق محاورة وهمية مع خبير قانوني محايد، وذلك بعد انتشار قانون يحظر مزاولة التحليل النفسي لغير الأطباء المعتمدين.
وبدأ فرويد في محاورته للخبير القانوني بتعريفه الجهاز النفسي ومكوناته، وكيفية نشوء الأعصبة وما الطريقة التي يستخدمها في التحليل، والصعوبات التي تتخلل عملية التحليل من ترجمة ومقاومات وتحويل.
وأخيرًا أسهب في بيان إيجابيات وسلبيات اقتصار التحليل النفسي على الأطباء، وكيف أن لا علاقة للطبيب وما يدرسه في كلية الطب من مواد بعميق الصلة والفائدة لمهارة التحليل النفسي.

April 23, 2025Formal apologies to all (myself included) for what my Goodreads is about to look like…
Zero evaluative thoughts, but I think this piece is a good reminder that these no thinker or field is ahistorical and nothing exists in a vacuum. We def should still critique in modern day context, but yeah I think it’s worth looking back into the larger cultural waves to understand how it evolved, something something opacity…. making philosophy worldly blah blah blah.
Psychoanalysis as the study of neuroses caught more wind following WW1, which makes sense, and began dismantling the gendered diagnosis of histeria aka we figured out men can also have post traumatic episodes but only if we send them to war about it.
Also psychoanalysis didn’t pick up internationally until a rabid acceptance by United States doctors, so food for thought.

"I was thus led into regarding the neuroses as being without exception disturbances of the sexual function, the so-called 'actual neuroses' being the direct toxic expression of such disturbances and the psychoneuroses their mental expression. My medical conscience felt pleased at my having arrived at this conclusion"
hahaha, bless him.

The first part of the book is quite interesting, as the author talks about his early life as a student and how he got the idea of psychoanalysis after many discussions with many patients, while explaining briefly some of the initial shortcomings of the theory.
After that, it just keeps going with the history of this new discovered branch of study, the founding of the society for psychoanalysts and the opening of many offices around Europe and America.
All in all, it is an interesting read, but if you want to learn more about his life or the science of psychoanalysis, then other books might satisfy the curiosity.

Ne preporučujem. Iz ovog dela nisam naučila ništa novo o Frojdu, osim da ne želi da preuzme odgovornost za svoje neuspehe. Tako na strani 12. optužuje verenicu da je ona kriva za to što nije postao slavan u već svojim mlađi godinama. Razočarana...

عیان است. هرچه از علیرضا طهمساب و ترجمهی او باشد ارزش خواندن دارد.

Freud blamed his fiancée for his delay in fame and criticised Jung and Bleuler throughout the book LOL. Although he’s a cocky genius, he still stood his ground in psychoanalysis with the overwhelming rejection from all of Europe. In that aspect I respect.

For a psychology student, my guess is this book offers much more in terms of showing the anatomy of psychoanalytics. However, for a law student, there are only a few interesting insights with relation to societal organization, primal definition of guilt and religion. This is the first autobiography that I've read, which gives the reader a small entrance inside the world and the mind of the person for whom it is written. The more suitable title for this book would be something along the line of: A Guide to Sigmund Freud and His Work.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Not exactly what I expected. Like Freud already mentioned at the end of the book, he kept his private life for himself because he thought it was not relevant (at least for this book). So this 'autobiographical study' is actually a brief summary of his work, development of his ideas and (some) thought processes behind it. Not detailed enough to provide reader a deeper understanding of psychosis, neurosis, dreams etc.. and lacking almost all informations needed to understand Freud and his state of mind during formation of all this concepts. Still an interesting read.

This translation is that of the Standard Editon, Volume 20. It originally appeared in Volume 4 of Die Medizin der Gegenwart in Selbstdarstellungen (Leipzig, Felix Meiner) in 1925. As much a history of the psychoanalytic movement as a biography, it does contain general information about Freud's background and motivations, but this self-portrayal is rather on the order of the kind of essay one would write in an admissions essay.

Pe Freud voiam de mult să îl citesc. Chiar dacă am început cu autobiografia, sunt mulțumită până acum :).
Cartea nu prezintă doar istoria lui Freud ca persoană, ci și istoria Psihanalizei. Rivalii, aliații/aliații falși ;). Știam că psihanaliza a fost respinsă la început, dar nu știam că a fost chiar atât de tare urâtă de masele generale.
A fost o lectură plăcută, amuzantă prin unele părți, o recomand oricui este interesat de Freud! :).

Entre tres y cuatro estrellas. Me ha gustado la sencillez e intención objetiva con que explica sus ideas, a pesar de no estar de acuerdo con todas ellas, sobre todo por su ideario patriarcal y misógino.

التحليل النفسي...
أنصح المهتمين بالدخول إلى عالم فرويد في التحليل النفسي بالبدأ بهذا الكتاب.

February 5, 2025مع أني أكره أسلوب "المحاور الافتراضي" إلا أن فرويد أمتعنا بهذا النص بأسلوب أكثر سلاسةً ووضوحاً من النصوص الأخرى بأهمّ الأفكار في التحليل النفسي.
أما عن رأيه بخصوص مزاولة غير الأطباء للتحليل النفسي فأنا موافق تماماً فيما قاله مع التأكيد على الشروط التي وضعها فيما يتعلق بذلك وهو فعلاً ما يتم تطبيقه اليوم في مختلف المدارس التحليلية.

Si bien lleva el nombre de autobiografía, los momentos en los que Freud desarrolla algo acerca de su vida personal son muy pocos y siempre están relacionados con el desarrollo del psicoanálisis. Aún así me gustó poder leer la perspectiva de Freud respecto a sus avances en la disciplina y los problemas que iba encontrando frente al rechazo del psicoanálisis en general, e incluso las frecuentes disertaciones en amigos o colegas cercanos (Breuer, Adler, Jung, etc). Buena lectura para comprender más del contexto, los por qués y como se fueron desarrollando los conceptos psicoanalíticos. Qué motivo a Freud a abandonar el campo médico, sus inicios en hipnotismo, su descubrimiento sobre el mecanismo de represión, el inconsciente, su nueva y disruptiva concepción de la sexualidad, la importancia de la fantasía, los cambios de método terapéutico, los sueños y el pasaje de la psicopatologia al campo de lo "normal", entre muchas otras cosas. Siendo que encuentro muchos puntos de contacto entre filosofia y psicoanálisis me gustó que Freud señalara filósofos relacionados con la perspectiva psicoanalítica, en este caso Shopenahuer y Nietzche. A partir de la mitad del libro comienza a hablar sobre la historia del movimiento analítico y su expansión a nivel mundial: revistas, congresos y ramificaciones del psicoanálisis. Y lo mejor: la recriminación de Freud a su mujer por no permitirle haberse hecho famoso gracias a la cocaína, 10/10.

Ionako sam u nekim svojim spisima -...- bio mnogo otvoreniji i iskreniji nego što su to obično ljudi kad opisuju svoj život svojim suvremenicima ili budućim naraštajima. Malo ih je koji su mi za to zahvalni; stoga ne bih nikome savjetovao da se u tom poslu na mene ugleda."

Breves y claros escritos sobre el origen y expansión del Psicoanalisis. No profundiza, pero menciona los aportes más importantes, autores y profesionales, revistas y asociaciones, influencias de la guerra y principales críticas de la disciplina que obstaculizaron su progreso. Todo de una manera organizada y clara para cualquier lector.

Typical over sexualization of neuroses and mentions of the Oedipus complex, but overall, a great introduction to his train of thoughts and very easy to read. Talks about his meetings with Jung, which is refreshing to hear. I would've loved to read more on his theories rather than his development of psychoanalysis, but I guess that defeats the purpose of the "autobiographical" aspect.
November 24, 2024
This book was pretty good considering that it didn’t focus only on the personal life of Freud but it describe the trial and error of his psychological theories and experiments. It also mentioned who he worked with, what influenced him to write certain books and come to certain conclusions. Pretty good read overall if you’re looking for something short.
