This paper was finished, as we learn from a letter to Fliess (Freud, 1950a, Letter 83), on February 9, 1898. It had been begun already a month earlier (Standard Ed., Letter 81), and in both these letters Freud speaks of it contemptuously as a ‘Gartenlaube’ article. This was the title (literally ‘garden arbour’) of a family magazine whose name had become proverbial for its sentimental stories. But he adds that the paper ‘is fairly impudent and chiefly designed to cause trouble—which it will succeed in doing. Breuer will say that I have done myself a lot of harm.’
