Freud sets forth with a frankness almost startling the difficulties and limitations of psychoanalysis, and also describes its main methods and results as only a master and originator of a new school of thought can do. These discourses are at the same time simple and almost confidential, and they trace and sum up the results of thirty years of devoted and painstaking research. While they are not at all controversial, we incidentally see in a clearer...

Más allá del principio de placer fue escrito por Freud entre marzo y mayo de 1919, más tarde modificada y publicada en 1920. Se la conoce como el "gran giro" de la década de 1920, pues constituye un reordenamiento teórico fundamental de su teoría.

In Wilhelm Jensen's 1903 novel Gravida, an archaeologist becomes obsessed with a woman depicted in an ancient bas-relief-who he then pursues in his dreams. Freud's reading of the novel finds parallels and similarities to his own conception of the psychology of dreams, and sees in Jensen's hero unresolved feelings for a childhood playmate. This volume prints Jensen's novel in full, followed by Freud's profound, book-length essay.
