Norman F14; Meyer-Palmedo/Fichtner 1891a; Grinstein 27; Waller I, 3248. - RARE FIRST EDITION of the first independent (non-journal) work by Freud which appeared directly before the epochal aphasia study. Freud deals with this area until 1897, a time when he was no longer looking for physiological explanations but psychological explanations for mental disorders. All subsequent publications dealt with the new concept for which Freud coined the name Psychoanalysis in 1896. Rie (1863-1931) was a pediatrician, colleague, and close friend of Freud. The two became acquainted while Freud was in charge of the Neurological Department at the Institute for Children's Diseases in Vienna and co-authored the 1891 Klinische Studie über die halbseitige Cerebrallähmung der Kinder, a study of unilateral paralysis in children. Pp 213-220 comprises a bibliography of 180 publications on this topic.
Freud schrieb die beiden Werke, davon eines zusammen mit O. Rie, welcher auch Arzt seiner Kinder wurde, nachdem er bereits seine Privatpraxis auf der Berggasse 19 bezogen hatte u. nur noch an wenigen Nachmittagen als Neurologe am Kinder-Krankeninstitut von M. Kassowitz arbeitete. - Visit our website for additional images and information.
