This 40+ page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page: "SIGMUND FREUD, PSYCHOANALYST, DIES AT LONDON", "'Father of Psychoanalysis' and 'Prophet of Subconscious Fled Vienna in 1938" and more with one column photo of Freud (see photos). Nice to have on the front page.

Other news, sports and various advertisements of the day throughout. Light browning, a little margin wear, otherwise good condition.

wikipedia notes: Sigmund Freud, born Sigismund Schlomo Freud (6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939), was an Austrian neurologist who founded the discipline of psychoanalysis. Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind and the mechanism of repression, and for creating the clinical method of psychoanalysis for investigating the mind and treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient (or "analysand") and a psychoanalyst. Freud established sexual drives as the primary motivational forces of human life, developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association, discovered the phenomenon of transference in the therapeutic relationship and established its central role in the analytic process; he interpreted dreams as sources of insight into unconscious desires. He was an early neurological researcher into cerebral palsy, aphasia and microscopic neuroanatomy, and a prolific essayist, drawing on psychoanalysis to contribute to the history, interpretation and critique of culture.
