This is the story of a girl on the cusp of womanhood, with all the indignations of being submissive to parent's control, the focus of maintaining an intimate friendship, and the writing of a new narrative about a special other. Written in 1915, the concerns, curiosities, and calamities are universal.Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist, now known as the father of psychoanalysis. Freud qualified as a doctor of medicine at the University of Vienna in 1881, and then carried out research into cerebral palsy, aphasia and microscopic neuroanatomy at the Vienna General Hospital. Upon completing his habilitation in 1885, he was appointed a docent in neuropathology in the same year and became an affiliated professor (professor extraordinarius) in 1902.In creating psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association and discovered transference, establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud's redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory. His analysis of dreams as wish-fulfillments provided him with models for the clinical analysis of symptom formation and the mechanisms of repression as well as for elaboration of his theory of the unconscious as an agency disruptive of conscious states of mind. Freud postulated the existence of libido, an energy with which mental processes and structures are invested and which generates erotic attachments, and a death drive, the source of repetition, hate, aggression and neurotic guilt. In his later work Freud developed a wide-ranging interpretation and critique of religion and culture.Psychoanalysis remains influential within psychotherapy, within some areas of psychiatry, and across the humanities. As such, it continues to generate extensive and highly contested debate with regard to its therapeutic efficacy, its scientific status, and whether it advances or is detrimental to the feminist cause. Nonetheless, Freud's work has suffused contemporary Western thought and popular culture. In the words of W. H. Auden's poetic tribute, by the time of Freud's death in 1939, he had become "a whole climate of opinion / under whom we conduct our different lives".

From a letter written by Sigmund Freud regarding the diary: "This diary is a gem. Never before, I believe, has anything been written enabling us to see so clearly into the soul of a young girl, belonging to our social and cultural stratum, during the years of puberal development. We are shown how the sentiments pass from the simple egoism of childhood to attain maturity; how the relationships to parents and other members of the family first shape themselves, and how they gradually become more serious and more intimate; how friendships are formed and broken. We are shown the dawn of love, feeling out towards its first objects. Above all, we are shown how the mystery of the sexual life first presses itself vaguely on the attention, and then takes entire possession of the growing intelligence, so that the child suffers under the load of secret knowledge but gradually becomes enabled to shoulder the burden. Of all these things we have a description at once so charming, so serious, and so artless, that it cannot fail to be of supreme interest to educationists and psychologists."

According to Sigmund Freud, we are shown the dawn of love, feeling out towards its first objects. Above all, we are shown how the mystery of the sexual life first presses itself vaguely on the attention, and then takes entire possession of the growing intelligence, so that the child suffers under the load of secret knowledge but gradually becomes enabled to shoulder the burden.

A remarkable autobiography written by a girl from the age of eleven to fourteen. With a Preface by Sigmund Freud "Amazingly intimate revelation of the soul of a girl between the ages of eleven and fourteen which deserves to be read by everyone interested in the understanding and guidance of childhood life. Parents particularly ought to gain from the intelligent perusal of the book further conviction of the importance of gaining and holding the confidence of their children if they are to spare the young ones the mischief and unhappiness which is promiscuous picking up of information here and there concerning some of the most vital facts of life may engender." -Bernard Glueck, The New York Times "A great work." -G. Stanley Hall "It has the rich and satisfying truth of Art." -Katharine Anthony, The Nation "Every word is of interest." -New York Times "The jacket of "A Young Girl's Diary' says 'the book is a gem.' For this particular book it is the least one can say. There is, however, one disappointment. The diary doesn't go on and on." -Syracuse Post-Standard "A document of great importance. It contains some extremely humorous passages and there is much naive comment on life." -Chicago Evening Post "This diary is a gem. Never before, I believe, has anything been written enabling us to see so clearly into the soul of a young girl during the years of puberal development. It is at once so charming, so serious, and so artless, that it cannot fail to be of supreme interest." -Sigmund Freud "It is a unique piece of literature, this young girl's diary. It will soon make all the other young revelators pale their ineffectual fires." -Kansas City Star "The book will arouse tremendous controversy. It is already being talked about and reviewed everywhere in England with complete favor." -Dorothy Hoskins, The Houston Post "The diary covering the period between the age of eleven and fourteen, lays bare the soul of a girl during adolescence. With complete candor it reveals the child's curiosity about sex, and her attitude towards her parents, sister and brother, her ardent friendship for a schoolmate and a teacher, and her first childish excursions into the field of romance. The preface by Sigmund Freud points out the significance of these revelations to educationalists and psychologists." -Book Review Digest "'A Young Girl's Diary' is without doubt a genuine piece of work. It does not appear to have been monkeyed with by anybody. It is bound to seem familiar to almost any honest female who can remember when she was twelve or fourteen; and by the same token, almost the only possible remark upon it, at the end of its reading, is: 'All right, what of it?'" -Bookman
