Examining and deciphering Freud's original manuscripts, this work analyzes Freud's method of working. The text points out what the writings reveal of Freud's psychological states, the events in his life and the development of his thinking over time.

In this text, the author examines Freud's earliest psychoanalytic book, "Studies on Hysteria", which he wrote together with Breuer, and "Moses and Monotheism", his last book. The essay on "Studies on Hysteria" reveals to the reader why that book is considered the "primal book" of psychoanalysis.
