Beschreibung:

FREUD, Sigmund. Drei Abhandlungen zur Sexualtheorie. Leipzig and Vienna: Franz Deuticke, 1905. 8 o (241 x 160 mm). Original printed gray wrappers (backstrip almost perished, lower wrapper and last 3 leaves dented with some associated tears and looses); quarter half-morocco folding case. FIRST EDITION of Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, second only to the Interpretation of Dreams in its importance to Freudian theory. "This work sets forth Freud's theory of infantile sexuality and psychosexual development, in which he postulated the existence of infantile erogenous zones, stated that an infant's first sexual objects are its parents, and described the four stages of human sexual development: oral, anal, phallic and genital. That infants and children experience sexual feelings had long been observed by parents and nursemaids, yet the analysis of this delicate subject in a scientific treatise centered Freud in a storm of criticism that has not yet fully abated" (Stanford). Garrison-Morton 4983; Grinstein 79; Jones II, pp. 321-327; Norman F55; Standard edition 1905d; Stanford 30.
