This vintage book contains the second volume of Wilhelm Stekel's
"Compulsion and Doubt", which covers a range of psychological
aberrations, their symptoms, causes, and possible treatments. A
fascinating treatise on the subject, this book is written with the
accessibility Stekel is famous for, and constitutes a brilliant resource
for students and practitioners alike. Contents include: "The Tragedy of
the Physical"; "The Liquidation of the Incest Complex"; "The Effect onto
Infinity"; "Compulsion and Impotence"; "Homosexuality and Patricide";
"Neurotic Goals", "Leitmotifs"; "The Central Idea"; "The Flight from the
Ego", etcetera. Wilhelm Stekel (1868 - 1940) was an Austrian
psychologist and physician. He was an early follower of the seminal
Sigmund Freud, often described as Freud's most distinguished pupil and
commonly hailed as one of the founding fathers of modern
psychoanalytical methodology. Many vintage texts such as this are
increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we
are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality
edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography
of the author.
