An Elementary Textbook of Psychoanalysis clearly and concisely describes the basics of psychoanalytic theory and is supplemented throughout by pertinent clinical illustra- tions. This book has been serving as an authoritative text for colleges, universities, and medical schools the world over. Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, physi- cians indeed, all students of human behavior have found it indispensable.

Dr. Brenner's book was written for the particular purpose of making a very complex subject comprehensible to those unfamiliar with it. That the book fulfills this purpose is at- tested to by the acclaim which greeted the original edition:

"To present succinctly the basic principles of psychoanal- ysis is no mean task; to do so not only succinctly but clearly is one calling for skill indeed. These tasks Doctor Brenner has accomplished most successfully." -Journal of Clinical and Experimental Psychoapthology and Quarterly Review of Psychiatry and Neurology
