ABSTRACT

The Letters of Sigmund Freud to Eduard Silberstein, 1871-1881 1 forms a part in a long series of volumes of Freud letters. Earlier there was a 1954, and then a complete 1985, edition of his correspondence to his close friend Wilhelm Fliess, a Berlin physician, and a general collection of Freud’s correspondence came out in 1960. The other books, containing both sides of exchanges of letters, were with students and disciples; that with Oskar Pfister appeared in 1963, the one with Karl Abraham in 1965, that to Arnold Zweig in 1970, the one with James Jackson Putnam in 1971, and that to Lou Andreas-Salome in 1972. Perhaps the high point of them all was when the Freud/Jung correspondence was published in 1974; Freud’s letters to Edoardo Weiss had come out as a book in 1970.
