Contents: Frontispiece - Facing Title - Translator´s Note - Chapter I - VI - Postcript (1935) TRANSLATOR’S NOTE: "This work appeared originally in 1925 in volume iv. of Die Medinin der Gegenwart in Selbstdarstel-lungen (Leipzig: Felix Meiner), a collection of short studies by various members of the medical profession designed (as its title shows) to give a picture of the present state of medicine as revealed in the autobiographies of its leaders. The stress was thus laid by implication upon the professional rather than the personal histories of the contributors; and this limitation applies equally, of course, to the Autobiographical Study which is reprinted in the following pages. It would indeed be more accurately described (if the word existed) as an ‘auto-ergography’. The present translation was first published in the United States in 1927 (New York: Brentano) together with another of Professor Freud’s writings, The Problem of Lay-Analyses, translated by another hand. Both the outer cover and the title-page of that volume, which is now out of print, bore only the title of this latter work, so that the Autobiographical Study perhaps attracted less attention than it deserved. For this new edition the author has made a few alterations and additions to the text and has added some footnotes and a apostscript to cover the ten years that have passed since the book was written. The translation has also been revised. A few explanatory footnotes by the translator are distinguished by square brackets." 9
