Ellenberger 844/5: "The book was dedicaterd to Freud and purported to be a further development of psychoanalysis, based on Rank's analytic work with his patients ....This theory entailed a new system of interpretation of dreams, a new code of universal symbols, a reformulation of the pleasure principle as the wish to return to the womb, and a new interpretation of normal and abnormal sexual life, neurosis, psychosis, and cultural life as a whole. Rank's work came as a surpise to pschoanalysis."
