2013 Reprint of 1936 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This book is an American translation of Freud’s Hemmung, Symptom und Angst. Many regard this book as the most valuable clinical one written by Freud up to that date. The Problem of Anxiety by focuses on Freud’s theory of anxiety-neurosis. This is a comparatively small book, but the large number of topics brought together and the serious attempt to deal with them in a fundamental way stamps it as one of the author’s major works. One notes throughout this book a scientific modesty and an attitude of non-finality which was not always apparent in Freud’s earlier writings.
