Eissler, who is not identified, began the manuscript in 1985 and had not completed the final revision when he died, at a date not noted. Emanuel E. Garcia and Michael Meyer, also unidentified, cleaned up the work and provided a bibliography. Like others before him, Eissler explores Freud's brief advocacy of infantile seduction and the reasons he abandoned it. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
