"A welcome version of this definitive classic, that, to this reviewer, has not lost the flavor of the original. This abridgement in one volume is more readable than the three-volume version. Lionel Trilling, an established Freudian scholar and astute intellectual and his colleague Steven Marcus, have done both professionals and laymen a great service." Robert W.

"The omissions and compressions necessary still leave a complete, readable and critical biography. Perhaps 'critical' should be emphasized, since anti-Freudians have frequently alleged that Jones' biography is worshipful. Jones did not hesitate to be critical of Freud, and the criticisms appear in the abridgement. The abridged Life can be recommended for students and for general reading and would serve'in default of the larger edition for reference purposes." Psychiatric Quarterly
"No disdain for abridgements should keep one from enjoying this fascinating biography." C. Vann Woodward in The American Scholar
