On Aphasia: A Critical Study

xv, 105 pp. New introduction by translator E. Stengel. The book explores the topic of aphasia, a condition that affects a person's ability to communicate through language. Freud's study is based on his observations of a patient named ""Emmy von N."" who suffered from aphasia. Throughout the book, Freud examines the various theories of aphasia that were prevalent at the time and offers his own perspective on the condition. He also delves into the psychological and neurological aspects of aphasia and discusses the role of language in human communication. The book is considered a landmark in the field of psychoanalysis and is a must-read for anyone interested in the workings of the human mind.
