In the world of psychoanalysis, the late Otto Fenichel was pre-eminently distinguished for brilliant scholarship, incisive powers of observation, tireless energy and skill. "There was nothing in the analytic atmosphere," says Bertram D. Lewin in his Introduction, "for which he did not serve as a condenser, no currents for which he did not serve as a medium. His justly famous book The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis, with its immense erudition and textual profusion, is monumental and a lasting demonstration of his immense capacity."
His highly significant essays explore many subjects that were only touched on in his books. Many of these discussions, present-day classics in their fields, are comprehensive monographs in themselves. Often so much is brought to bear on the central topic from so many sources, and then related so clearly to the context, that these essays become works of reference for a much larger field. It is a contribution of the greatest value to preserve and make conveniently available so much that is intensely useful from the life work of this remarkable man.
The papers forming this volume are those that were written between the years 1922 and 1936. A Second Series, containing papers written from 1936 to 1946, is also available. The papers have been collected and edited by Dr. Hanna Fenichel and Dr. David Rapaport. Papers not heretofore published in English have been especially translated for this work by James and Alix Strachey.

A perennially best-selling and influential psychoanalytic work. When Otto Fenichel died suddenly at age 48, Anna Freud mourned the loss of "his inexhaustible knowledge of psychoanalysis and his inimitable way of organizing and presenting his facts." These qualities shine in his classic text, which has been a beacon to generations of psychoanalysts. Investigating the relationship between biological needs and external influences―the tensions and inhibitions that nurture neuroses―Fenichel concludes that "neuroses are social diseases," arising from the demands of civilization on the developing organism. For this 50th anniversary edition, distinguished psychoanalyst Leo Rangell has written an introduction to set the context of Fenichel's work and an epilogue to describe its influence.

Essays & Correspondence

Following publication of the First Series of Fenichel's Collected Papers, covering the period 1922-1936, the present volume includes the writings which appeared from 1936 to the author's death in 1946. Taken together, those two volumes present all of Otto Fenichel's more significant contributions to psychoanalysis. In these later papers is revealed anew the breadth of view, the lively perception, and the variety of interests that marked his earlier work.These significant essays, as Dr. Bertram D. Lewin says in his introduction to the First Series, explore many subjects that were only touched on in his books. Many of these discussions, present-day classics in their fields, are comprehensive monographs in themselves. Often so much is brought to bear on the central topics from so many sources, and then related so clearly to the context, that these essays become works of reference for a much larger field. A book is greatly to be welcomed that preserves and makes conveniently available so much that is intensely useful from the life work of this remarkable man.The papers forming this volume have been collected and edited by Dr. Hanna Fenichel and Dr. David Rapaport.
