THE
KONKORDANZ
This 6 volume concordance to the German text of Sigmund Freud’s
writings, the 18 volume Gesammelte Werke, offers over one
million of Freud's terms presented in-context and marked for
frequency. This concordance to the German text of Sigmund Freud's
writings is a necessary complement to that of Strachey's English
translation of Freud. Bruno Bettelheim pointed out in Freud and
Man's Soul that the English translators thought and wrote as
positivists, using scientific and medical terminology which stripped
off the subjective and emotionally-imbued connotations of Freud’s
language, with all its rich ambiguity and subtle nuances. The result
has been an abstract, depersonalized, mechanized version which
suppresses much of Freud's original richness. For example, says
Bettelheim, in translating Mutterleib ("womb") as "uterus,"
Strachey dissociates the terms from motherhood. This new
concordance to the German text will enable a fresh and more
sensitive understanding of Freud in both the social-science and the
humanities.
FEATURES
- Each term is contextualized within a full line of
text.
- Includes puns, nonsense words, and Freud's
approximations of child-like
speech.
- Abbreviations are exactly as they appear in the
Gessamelte Werke.
- Passages are referenced by volume and page number
in the Gessamelte Werke, followed by the abbreviated
title of the pertinent essay as well as its date of
publication, so that it is possible to follow the evolution
and historical context of Freud's thinking.
- Word-frequency is indicated in each
entry.
- The
appendix ranks key words by frequency.

REVIEWS
What scholars say about the Konkordanz:
"Only an astronomical metaphor suffices. In the field of Freudian
studies, a star has just been born. Thanks to computer technology
and the dedication of several researchers, we now have the
Konkordanz, a complete alphabetical arrangement of every key
word in the German edition of Freud’s works, the Gesammelte
Werke. The Konkordanz is indispensable for analysts and
scholars who seek greater precision in tracing the development and
disappearance of Freud’s concepts and imagistic as well as
metaphoric associations in which his theories are embedded. It
follows that every creditable psychoanalytic society and any serious
large library devoted to the history of thought should have a copy
of the Konkordanz."
Patrick J. Mahony, International Journal of
Psychoanalysis (1996)
"No doubt: this is what Freud scholars have sorely missed and
have been looking for for decades, a concordance to Freud’s
Gesammelte Werke in the original German, fortunately
including the Nachtragsband of 1987. We are deeply indebted
to an enterprising Canadian publisher, generous donors, and the
enormous work by indefatigable Samuel Guttman and his collaborators,
to achieve for Freud what has long been a matter of course for
researchers on Shakespeare, Goethe, the Bible, etc."
Ernst Falzeder, Salzburg, Austria
What scholars say about the English Concordance:
"I would insist that my university library purchase a Freud
concordance, and I would like to have one for my study at home.
Nothing but a concordance will track down that elusive
half-remembered quotation hiding at the edges of memory. Nothing but
a concordance will permit the detailed study of a concept that
underwent great change over Freud's career. Nothing else will permit
the tracing of the imagistic and metaphorical associations that
reveal Freud's own mental processes."
Professor Norman Holland, Director Center for the
Psychological Study of the Arts, State University of New York,
Buffalo
"It was conceived, prepared, arranged, guided, and produced by a
lot of human ingenuity, interest, zeal, goodwill, care, and
perseverance and is clearly a labor of love as well as a
technological feat. These... volumes... will guide scholars,
teachers, writers, editors, and others. The perfection and scope of
this concordance makes me stand in awe."
Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic
"Freud's genius created psychoanalysis and the psychodynamic view
in psychiatry, and we have not learned all we can from his brilliant
insights- and his mistakes. Just as technical advances allow for the
extraction of oil from hitherto unaccessible or uneconomical
sources, so also the computer technology underpinning this
concordance facilitates the systematic mining of Freud's Complete
Psychological Works. These volumes belong in the library of every
department of psychiatry and psychoanalytic institute."
American Journal of Psychiatry
"This concordance will have considerable value for a considerable
number of users. [It] is clear and easy to use... a significant
addition to or complement of reference materials in that it permits
specialized studies that are not otherwise possible to make."
