'This is not intended to be a popular biography of Freud: several have been written already, containing serious distortions and untruths. Its aims are simply to record the main facts of Freud's life while they are still accessible, and--a more ambitious one--to try to relate his personaliity and the experiences of is life to the development of his ideas. It is not a book that would have met with Freud's own approval....' --Preface
