When Otto Fenichel died suddenly at age 48, Anna Freud mourned the loss of "his inexhaustible knowledge of psychoanalysis and his inimitable way of organizing and presenting his facts."

Otto Fenichel's highly significant essays explore many subjects that were only touched on in his books. Many of these discussions, present-day classics in their fields, are comprehensive monographs in themselves. Often so much is brought to bear on the central topic from so many sources, and then related so clearly to the context, that these essays become works of reference for a much larger field. It is a contribution of the greatest value to preserve and make conveniently available so much that is intensely useful from the life work of this remarkable man.

Following publication of the First Series of Fenichel's Collected Papers, covering the period 1922-1936, the present volume includes the writings which appeared from 1936 to the author's death in 1946. Taken together, those two volumes present all of Otto Fenichel's more significant contributions to psychoanalysis. In these later papers is revealed anew the breadth of view, the lively perception, and the variety of interests that marked his earlier work.

Otto Fenichels 1931 zeitgleich erschienene Werke Hysterien und Zwangsneurosen und Perversionen, Psychosen, Charakterstörungen sind die erste umfassende Darstellung der speziellen Neurosenlehre. Entstanden aus den Seminaren, die Fenichel am Berliner Psychoanalytischen Institut hielt, stellt er das Typische der Krankheitsbilder dar. Die zwei Bände der Psychoanalytischen speziellen Neurosenlehre von 1931 sind nicht nur als ein historisches Dokument von Relevanz, sondern besonders wegen ihrer zahlreichen kasuistischen Beispiele auch heute noch mit großem Gewinn zu lesen.
