Auto-Erotism: A Psychiatric Study of Onanism and Neurosis by Wilhelm Stekel. Liveright Publishing Corporation, 1950. No edition statement. Hardcover.
A clinical study by Wilhelm Stekel, an early psychoanalytic thinker associated with Freud’s circle before developing independent theoretical positions. The work examines auto-erotic behavior within a psychoanalytic framework, reflecting mid-20th-century psychiatric terminology and evolving theories of neurosis and sexuality.
Texts of this period are significant for documenting the language and assumptions of early psychoanalysis, particularly in areas of sexuality that were medically pathologized at the time. They serve as primary-source material for historians of psychology and psychiatry.
Condition: Very Good minus. Light shelf wear to boards; interior clean.
