'It may be rightly claimed that the work of Sigmund Freud, one of the outstanding thinkers of the twentieth century, culminates in Inhibitions, Symptom and Anxiety. This book, On Freud's "Inhibition, Symptom and Anxiety", is a compilation of the thoughts of a group of renowned experts of psychoanalysis who take as the starting point of their research this inexhaustible text of Freud. With a great deal of intelligence and level-headedness, the compilers of this book, Samuel Arbiser and Jorge Schneider, have wisely selected specialists from various countries and continents and the most varied theoretical backgrounds to offer a collection of stimulating and rigorous papers in which the reader will find the creative drive of a piece of work that, approaching its centenary, remains as captivating and up-to-date as ever. The reader will have an opportunity to appreciate Freud's thinking in one of his best works, and to grasp his genius at his most mature stage and at the height of his unparalleled career. I am sure the reader will enjoy this book as much as I did, and through it will have direct access to the thinking of the father of psychoanalysis, one of the greatest developments of our time.'
