A Young Girl's Diary (1921) - Paperback

A Young Girl's Diary is a book written by Sigmund Freud and published in 1921. The book is a collection of diary entries written by a young girl named Anna O., who was a patient of Freud's. The diary entries cover a period of about two years, from the age of 14 to 16, and provide a unique insight into the mind of a young girl during this time. The diary entries are written in a candid and unfiltered style, and cover a wide range of topics including Anna's relationships with her family and friends, her experiences at school, and her thoughts and feelings about her own sexuality. Freud uses Anna's diary as a way to explore the development of sexual desire in young girls, and the ways in which this desire is shaped by social and cultural factors.Throughout the book, Freud provides his own commentary on Anna's diary entries, interpreting them in light of his own theories and ideas about human psychology. He also draws on his own clinical experience to provide insights into Anna's behavior and thought processes.Overall, A Young Girl's Diary is an important work in the history of psychoanalysis, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a young girl during a pivotal period of her development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
