Imago Zeitschrift für Anwendung der Psychoanalyse auf die Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften band XV 1929 The name goes back to Carl Spitteler's autobiographical novel Imago, published in 1906. By publishing the magazine, Freud wanted to establish psychoanalysis as a way of seeing and thinking that also plays a role outside of medicine in understanding culture and society and in the arts. The magazine achieved this goal through both the choice of topics and the selection of authors. In addition to doctors, psychologists and lay analysts, these also included theologians, sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, cultural scientists and writers.[3] The magazine was aimed at both specialist audiences and interested laypeople and became the publisher's most successful medium until the publisher was dissolved due to the influence of the National Socialists. The magazine was continued in 1939 by Hanns Sachs and with the collaboration of Anna Freud in the USA under the name American Imago and by merging it with the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, which is still published quarterly today.[4] The changing subtitles show the shift in the focus or interest of the editors: the years up to 1926 had the addition of Journal for the Application of Psychoanalysis to the Humanities, and from 1927 to 1932 the subtitle was: Journal for the Application of Psychoanalysis to the Natural and Natural Sciences Humanities and, from 1933, journal for psychoanalytic psychology, its border areas and applications. From 1933 onwards there was a section of literature reviews in which, in addition to psychoanalytic specialist literature, a wide range of works from the border areas were also included. In addition to the three editors themselves, the international authors included Karl Abraham, Alice and Michael, Willy Bardas, Marie Bonaparte, Max Deri, Helene Deutsch, Sándor Ferenczi, Otto Fenichel, Eduard Hitschmann, Hermine Hug-Hellmuth, Ernest Jones, Ernst Kris, René Laforgue, Thomas Mann, Oskar Pfister, Hans Prinzhorn, Theodor Reik, Lou Andreas-Salomé, Herbert Silberer, Sabina Spielrein, René Spitz, Dorothy Tiffany Burlingham, Nelly Wolffheim, Hans Zulliger and Stefan Zweig. hard cover With gilded titles on the spine, 24,5 x 18 cm,542 pp lightly faded spines, minor shelf wear, all are in fine condition, no internal markings, pages clean, binding firm Overall a very good complete set
