Description

Freud cashes a royalty check for "A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis"—an introduction to the unconscious, dream interpretation, and neuroses

Liveright Publishing Corporation business check, 8.5 x 3, filled out in type and signed by two company officers, payable to Sigmund Freud for $237.43, February 20, 1935, boldly endorsed on the reverse by the celebrated psychoanalyst, "Sigmund Freud." The memo field notes that the payment is for royalties due on "A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis." In fine condition.

In 1920, Horace Liveright published the first English-language edition of A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis—the most popular and widely translated of Freud’s works, containing 28 lectures on key psychoanalytic concepts such as the unconscious, dream interpretation, repression, and neuroses. Written in accessible, non-technical language, it became one of Freud’s most popular books, serving as both a summary of his ideas and an entry point for readers new to psychoanalysis.
