This text is easily accessible and retains much of its educational value to this day - making it a must-read for anybody interested in the subject. Contents include: "The Struggle of the Sexes", "Confessions", "Psychoanalysis of a Case of Dyspareunia", "The Analysis of a Messalina", "Fragmentary Analysis of a Transvestite", and "Retrospect and Survey". 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 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.
