Book Description
This book provides easy to read, concise, and clinically useful explanations of over 1800 terms and concepts from the field of psychoanalysis. A history of each term is included in its definition and so is the name of its originator. The attempt is made to demonstrate how the meanings of the term under consideration might have changed, with new connotations accruing with the passage of time and with growth of knowledge. Where indicated and possible, the glossary includes diverse perspectives on a given idea and highlights how different analysts have used the same term for different purposes and with different theoretical aims in mind.

Book Description
The Freudian Dictionary provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to essential Freudian terms and concepts. Organized conceptually, the book is grounded in detailed and meticulous readings, and covers the full range of Freud’s writings and subjects. It also provides an overview of the development, vicissitudes, and syntheses of Freud’s unique lines of thought. Contemporary developments in psychoanalytic thought have aspired to surpass their Freudian origins. But this comprehensive guide to Freud’s work provides a touchstone for those wishing to clarify these roots, and the foundations of the discipline itself. It will be a valuable companion to psychoanalysts in practice and training across a range of schools, as well as a reference work for sociologists, artists, philosophers, historians and other scholars.

Book Description
The uniqueness of this Comprehensive Reference Dictionary is that, even though there are many professionals practicing psychoanalysis as well as publishing books and articles in the field, this work is based exclusively on the 24 primary texts of the recognized founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, M.D. Several dictionaries of relevance to psychoanalysis as a field of research and practice presently populate the market and though the quality of these efforts vary from excellent to acceptable, they all draw from a variety of sources, practitioners, researchers, and scholars but none limit themselves to a delineation of terms and concepts employed exclusively in the collected works of Freud himself. This definition is dedicated solely to a delineation of the terms and concepts developed and employed by Freud himself and used in his published works. That these terms and concepts became common nomenclature by subsequent generations of practitioners is of no relevance to our efforts here.Given the magnitude of this undertaking in creating an encyclopedic dictionary for practitioners in the broad field of psychoanalysis, I am determined to lay out a rational and logical fashion the methodology I have employed in gathering and sorting the materials included in this work. By doing so, I hope both to demonstrate the fundamental comprehensiveness of my approach and to validate the integrity I attempt to embody in this undertaking. This reference dictionary aspires to be a great resource for scholars, students, and practitioners of psychoanalysis who desire to have in one location a comprehensive delineation of every term and concept developed by Freud himself appearing in his published works. Every term and concept employed by Freud in any of his 24 volumes in his Collected Works is listed including the volume or volumes in which they appear and the page number for their exact location for referencing by the user of this dictionary.For 20 years I taught a doctoral-level seminar in the international summer program of Oxford University and have held a professorial appointment in research psychopathology specializing in the classical and modern schools of psychotherapy with special emphasis on the psychopathology of personality disorders. Presently, I am Editor-in-Chief of a scholarly journal in this field, The Behavioral Mind: A Journal in Personality Disorders, which fosters a balance between the APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and humanistic psychology embodied in the work of the Third Force led by Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, among others. In the development of this major reference work based on the Standard Edition of the Collected Works of Sigmund Freud, I have taken my inspiration from the creators of the great dictionaries of the English language, particular Dr. Samuel Johnson's essay on lexicography prefacing his landmark epic in commencing the first comprehensive Dictionary of the English Language (August, 1747, titled "Plan of a Dictionary of the English Language"), and that of the creators of the Oxford Dictionary of the English Language (launched May, 1860).In 1950, Nandor Fodor and Frank Gaynor, with a Preface by Theodor Reik, produced the first dictionary of psychoanalytic terms which were gleaned from over 60 primary source materials written by Freud himself. Though a monumental undertaking and an early key reference source for psychoanalysts, the book, titled, Freud: Dictionary of Psychoanalysis (N.Y.: The Philosophical Library, Inc., 1950), had some disappointing shortcomings in that it often defined the terms by only reference the book title from which it was selected but without a page reference. When bibliographic referencing was attempted, it never provided more than the chapter in which the word being defined was to be found.

Book Description
This is the first historical dictionary of psychiatry. It covers the subject from autism to Vienna, and includes the key concepts, individuals, places, and institutions that have shaped the evolution of psychiatry and the neurosciences from their origin until the present. Among those who will appreciate this invaluable and unprecedented work of reference are clinicians curious about the origins of concepts they use in their daily practices, students of medical history keen to situate the psychiatric narrative within larger events, and the general public curious about illnesses that might affect them, their families and their communities-or readers who merely want to know about the grand chain of events from the asylum to Freud to Prozac. The Dictionary rest on an enormous base of primary sources that cover the growth of psychiatry through all of Western society.
