This book presents the psychoanalytic writings of the Greek surrealist Andreas Embiricos in English for the first time.

A pioneer of psychoanalysis in Greece, Embiricos produced two remarkable case studies that explore sexuality, masculinity, dream analysis, and neurosis. The volume also includes a previously unpublished lecture on psychoanalytic technique from the 1940s, together with several texts on the life and work of Princess Marie Bonaparte, a close friend and collaborator of Embiricos. Complementing these writings are an interview in which Embiricos reflects on his psychoanalytic practice, four scholarly essays examining key dimensions of his psychoanalytic career and intellectual legacy.

Bringing together clinical material, historical documents, and contemporary scholarship, this unique collection will be of interest to psychoanalysts as well as to scholars of the history of psychoanalysis, surrealism, Greek literature and European intellectual and cultural history.
