Freud, Sigmund. Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety. Authorized translation by Alix Strachey. London,  Hogarth Press. Freud, Sigmund. The Problem of Anxiety. Translated by Henry Alden Bunker, M.D. New York,  W. W. Norton & Co., Inc.

Both of these publications are translations of the same work of Professor Freud and are now rendered, not for the first time in the English but for the first time in a really adequate English translation. It is hardly necessary to review these works for the readers of this journal because the book is already in its original publication many years old, but to merely call attention to its English dress.

The reviewer, however, can not let the matter rest quite here without commenting upon the fact that he has re-read this work with the utmost interest, being impressed again with the careful, judicial attitude of Professor Freud, his rigid adherence to the actual available clinical facts and his refusal to go beyond them, except insofar as he definitely states that he is indulging in pure hypothesis. For those—and there are still many—who think that Professor Freud's ideas are all bosh, who turn up their noses at psychoanalysis, who criticize it because of its pan-sexuality, a reading of this volume ought to provide an adequate cure for such superficial and erroneous states of mind. It remains one of Professor Freud's very important works and is an outstanding example of the rigidity of his own intellectual discipline. (WHITE.)
