Almost simultaneously with publishing his new book, Myth and Guilt (George Braziller, Inc., New York, 1957), Theodor Reik is reediting a second volume of selections from his previous works under the title, Of Love and Lust.

Part I is taken from A Psychologist Looks at Love (1944), while Part II is a compact version of Masochism in Modern Man (1941) with its message of 'victory by defeat'. The last third of the book, approximately two hundred pages, is reprinted from recent publications and deals with such topics as: the unmarried, the emotional differences of the sexes, guilt feelings, impotence, jealousy, the sexualization of clothes, homosexuality, feminine vulnerabilities, etc.

Regardless of the degree of psychoanalytic sophistication, this is one of the books which will be read by men and women, by analysts and patients with differing degrees of interest and benefit.
