First edition of Jacques Lacan's doctor­al thesis. The most precious of the 20 known copies gifted by the author. The copy's existence was hitherto only ev­idenced by the thanks Sigmund Freud sent Lacan after receiving it.

Exceptional association copy inscribed by Jacques Lacan: “Au Professeur Sig­mund Freud, père de la nouvelle psy­chiatrie, à laquelle je voudrais avoir contribué un peu par cet ouvrage, bien que j'aie dû m'y exprimer trop souvent en fonction de l'ancienne./en témoi­gnage de mon immense admiration,/Jacques Lacan / le 3 janvier 1932 [sic]” [”To Professor Sigmund Freud, father of the new psychiatry, to which I would like to have contributed a little through the writing of this work, although I had to express myself too often according to the old [psychiatry]./as a token of my immense admiration,/Jacques Lacan/the 3rd of January, 1932 [sic]”]

Some restorations to the slightly dark­ened spine, some traces of folds to the cover margins, old manuscript inscrip­tion in red pencil “Zeitsch.” (Zeitschrift) on upper part of the front cover.
