Summary:
About the edition
The study edition (10 volumes plus supplementary volume) includes about two-thirds of the Freud texts contained in the Standard Edition; the editor of the famous English Freud edition, James Strachey, was involved in the conception of the study edition. To this day, the study edition is the only critical German-language edition of the main part of Freud's oeuvre. The volumes are organized by themes, allowing the reader to quickly navigate Freud's diverse work. Within the volumes, which are equipped with extensive editorial apparatus, the chronological structuring principle is applied.
