but it is right that I should begin by indicating its contents more explicitly My aim has been to include in it the whole of Freud's published psychological writings-that is, both the psycho-analytic and the pre-psycho-analytic It does not include Freud's numerous publications on the physical sciences during the first fifteen years or so of his productive activity.l I have been fairly liberal in drawing the line here, for I have found a place for two or three works produced· by Freud immediately after his return from Paris in 1886 These, dealing chiefly with hysteria, were written under the influence of Charcot, with scarcely a reference to mental processes; but they provide a real bridge between Freud's neurological and psychological writings The Standard Edition does not include Freud's correspondence This is of enormous extent and only relatively small selections from it have been published hitherto Apart from 'Open Letters' and a few others printed with Freud's assent during his lifetime, my main exception to this general rule is in the case of his correspondence with Wilhelm Fliess during the early part of his career This is of such vital importance to an understanding of Freud's views (and not only of his early ones) that much of it could not possibly be rejected The first volume of the edition accordingly contains the Project of 1895 and the series of 'Drafts' sent by Freud to Fliess between 1892 and 1897, as well as such portions of the letters themselves as are of definite scientific interest Nor, again, does the Standard Edition contain any reports or abstracts, published in contemporary periodicals, of the many lectures and papers given by Freud in early days at meetings of various medical societies in Vienna The only exceptions here are the rare cases in which the report was made or revised by Freud himself On the other hand, the whole contents of the Gesammelte Werke (the only approximately complete German edition) appear in Freud's own abstractS of the majority of these (they numbered some twenty-five in all, of varying length and importance) will be found in Volume III of the Standard Edition, pp 223-57 xiii GENERAL PREFACE the Standard Edition, besides a number ofworks which have either come to light since the completion of the Gesammelte Wer!e, or were, for various reasons, omitted by its editors It has also seemed essential to include in Volume II Josef Breuer's share of the Studien aber Hysterie, which was left out of both the German collected editions (2) THE PLAN OF THE EDITION The first problem for an editor faced by a total of some two million words was to decide how best to present them to his readers Was the material to be arranged on a classificatory or a chronological basis? The first German collected edition (the Gesammelte Schriften, issued during Freud's life) attempted a division according to subject-matter; the more recent Gesammelte Werke aimed at being strictly chronological Neither plan was satisfactory Freud's writings would not fit comfortably into cate· gories, and strict chronology meant interrupting close sequences of his ideas Here, therefore, a compromise was adopted The arrangement is in the main chronological, but I have disregarded the rule in certain cases where, for instance, Freud wrote an addendum many years after the original work (as with the Autobiographical Study in Volume XX) or where he himself grouped together a set of papers of various dates (as with the papers on technique in Volume XII) In general, however, each volume contains all the works belonging to a specified span of years The contents of each volume (except of course where a single long work is concerned) are grouped in three classes: first I have placed the major work (or works) belonging to the period-which gives the volume its title; next come the more important writings on a smaller scale; and lastly come the really short (and usually relatively unimportant) productions The chronology is so far as possible determined by the date of the actual composition of the work in question Often, however, the only certain date is that of publication Each item is consequently headed by the date of publication in round brackets, followed by the date of composition in square brackets, where this may reasonably be held to differ from the former Thus the two last Cmetapsychological' papers in Volume XIV, though published in 1917, were almost certainly written at the same time as their three predecessors, in 1915 These last two are accordingly included in the same volume as the rest, and are headed '(1917 [1915])' Incidentally, each volume contains its own bibliography and index, though a complete bibliography and an index to the whole series are planned for Volume XXIV •
