Abstract

Reviews the book "Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety" by S. Freud (Translated by Alix Strachey) (1936) and "The Problem of Anxiety" by S. Freud (Translated by Henry Alden Bunker) (1936). Comparison of the two indicates little difference in general clarity of presentation and no disagreement on important words although the Strachey text reads a little more smoothly and appears to be a somewhat freer translation. Both are incomparably better than the rough, confused translation presented by Clarke. The translation by Alix Strachey is in the standard green binding of the International Psychoanalytic Library; the format of the Bunker translation is quite up to Norton's usual standard of excellence.
