Compulsion and Doubt (Zwang und Zweifel) by Wilhelm Stekel. Liveright Publishing Corporation, 1930. No edition statement. Hardcover.
An English-language edition of Stekel’s study of obsessive and compulsive phenomena within the psychoanalytic tradition. The work reflects early 20th-century attempts to systematize neurosis through case history and theoretical interpretation, predating later diagnostic frameworks of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
As part of the formative psychoanalytic literature available in translation, the volume is of interest to historians of psychiatry and to collectors of early Freudian-era clinical thought.
Condition: Very Good minus. Volume II. Cloth binding with moderate wear; interior sound.
