What to read after A Childhood Memory of Leonardo da Vinci: A New Translation?

A new translation from the original German manuscript of Freud's influential 1910 "A Childhood Memory of Leonardo da Vinci", which is one of his most expansive "pathographies", or Psychological analysis of historical figures, focusing on Symbolic analysis. This edition includes an introduction by the translator on the philosophic differences between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, a glossary of Freudian Psychological terminology and a timeline of Freud’s life & works. Freud explores the psychological impact of childhood experiences on adult behavior here in "A Childhood Memory of Leonardo da Vinci". He argues that our earliest memories are often of great significance and can shape our personality and desires in ways we may not even realize. Freud says: "The impressions of early childhood are like the sun which illuminates everything with its warmth; they create an image which extends over the whole of later life". This book is a study of the ways in which childhood experiences can shape an individual's adult personality and desires. His point is that even seemingly insignificant childhood events can have a profound effect on our psyche. Through his analysis of Leonardo da Vinci's childhood memories, Freud reveals the deep-seated feelings of loss and longing that underlie many of his works of art, writing: "The childhood memories of great artists are the fingerprints of their creative work".
