  THE essays treated here appeared under the subtitle of this book in the first numbers of the
  periodical Imago edited by me. They represent my first efforts to apply view-points and results of
  psychoanalysis to unexplained problems of racial psychology. In method this book contrasts with
  that of W. Wundt and the works of the Zurich Psychoanalytic School. The former tries to
  accomplish the same object through assumptions and procedures from non-analytic psychology,
  while the latter follow the opposite course and strive to settle problems of individual psychology
  by referring to material of racial psychology. I am pleased to say that the first stimulus for my
  own works came from these two sources.
  I am fully aware of the shortcomings in these essays. I shall not touch upon those which are
  characteristic of first efforts at investigation. The others, however, demand a word of explanation.
  The four essays which are here collected will be of interest to a wide circle of educated people,
  but they can only be thoroughly understood and judged by those who are really acquainted with
  psychoanalysis as such. It is hoped that they may serve as a bond between students of ethnology,
  philology, folklore and of the allied sciences, and psychoanalysts; they cannot, however, supply
  both groups the entire requisites for such co-operation.
