Oct 8, The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud: Today in the History of Psychology (8th October 1953)

The first volume of Ernest Jones's 'The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud' was published. Subtitled 'The Formative Years and the Great Discoveries, 1856-1900,' part 1 of this classic three volume biography drew upon over 2000 letters, many of which Freud wrote to his future wife Martha Bernays during their 4 year engagement. Jones's notes in the preface that 'The task of compiling a biography of Freud's life is a dauntingly stupendous one.... The reasons why I nevertheless yielded to the suggestion that I should undertake it were the considerations pressed on me that I was the only survivor of a small circle of co-workers (the 'Committee') in constant intimate contact with Freud, that I had been a close friend for 40 years and also during that period had played a central part in what has been called the " psychoanalytical movement.'
