Die Sprache Des Traumes

by Wilhelm Stekel

One of Wilhelm Stekel's most famous works, "Die Sprache Des Traumes" is a comprehensive treatise on the importance and usefulness of dreams as a tool for psychoanalysis. Composed from a wealth of clinical and observational material, this fascinating book constitutes the definitive handbook on the subject, and contains much information that would prove of value to the modern practitioner and student. Wilhelm Stekel (1868 - 1940) was an Austrian psychologist and physician. He was an early follower of the seminal Sigmund Freud, often described as Freud's most distinguished pupil and commonly hailed as one of the founding fathers of modern psychoanalytical methodology. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

About the author

Wilhelm Stekel was an Austrian physician and psychologist, who became one of Sigmund Freud's earliest followers, and was once described as "Freud's most distinguished pupil". According to Ernest Jones, "Stekel may be accorded the honour, together with Freud, of having founded the first psycho-analytic society"; while he also described him as "a naturally gifted psychologist with an unusual flair for detecting repressed material." He later had a falling-out with Freud, who announced in November 1912 that "Stekel is going his own way". His works are translated and published in many languages.

I agree. I could have written this and been more concise.
