ABSTRACT
The idea behind Freud Without Hindsight 1 is a thoroughly good one: to collect together the reviews of Freud’s works which appeared in his lifetime. Although I would ideally have liked to have every such review appear here, even if it took another large volume or two to complete the task, Norman Kiell has performed an important service in what this book offers. He also has an appendix in which he tries to list all the reviews of Freud’s works that have ever appeared; here, however, I was able to spot more than one inadvertent omission, for example, the 1963 review of Totem and Taboo by Margaret Mead.
