The psychopathology of everyday life by Sigmund Freud ( Book )
455 editions published between 1900 and 2011 in 19 languages and held by 2,810 libraries worldwide
Freud developed his system of psychoanalysis while studying the so-called borderline cases of mental diseases, such as hysteria and compulsion neurosis. By discarding the old methods of treatment and strictly applying himself to a study of the patient's life he discovered that the hitherto puzzling symptoms had a definite meaning, and that there was nothing arbitrary in any morbid manifestation. Psychoanalysis always showed that they referred to some definite problem or conflict of the person concerned. It was while tracing back the abnormal to the normal state that Freud found how faint the line of demarcation was between the normal and neurotic person, and that the psychopathologic mechanisms so glaringly observed in the psychoneuroses and psychoses could usually be demonstrated in a lesser degree in normal persons. This led to a study of the faulty actions of everyday life and later to the publication of the current text, a book which passed through four editions in Germany and is considered the author's most popular work. With great ingenuity and penetration the author throws much light on the complex problems of human behaviour, and clearly demonstrates that the hitherto considered impassable gap between normal and abnormal mental states is more apparent than real.

An outline of psycho-analysis by Sigmund Freud ( Book )
205 editions published between 1912 and 2011 in 11 languages and held by 2,554 libraries worldwide
"Throughout the period when Freud wrote his major works, various translations and editions, differing widely in the accuracy of their texts and the quality of their content, made their appearance. Increasingly, as the body of Freud's work achieved command stature, the need arose for a definitive and uniformly authentic English language edition of all his writings. The Standard edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud was undertaken to achieve this goal. The work is under the general editorship of James Strachey and he himself has made new translations of many of the writings....The result is to place this edition in a position of unquestion supremacy over all other existing versions -- which are in fact rendered obsolete. 'An outline of psycho-analysis' is the last book that Sigmund Freud wrote. A masterpiece of clarity and conciseness, it has a unique value in relation to all of Freud's work, for it is both a manual for the layman on the fundamental tenets of psycho-analysis, and a summary of the principles arrived at after a lifetime of research and experiment in the science of psychology."
