In reasoned progression he  outlined core psychoanalytic concepts, such as  repression, free association and libido. Of the  various English translations of Freud's major  works to appear in his lifetime, only one was  authorized by Freud himself: The Standard  Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of  Sigmund Freud under the general editorship of  James Strachey.Freud approved the overall  editorial plan, specific renderings of key words and phrases, and the addition of valuable notes,  from bibliographical and explanatory. Many of  the translations were done by Strachey himself;  the rest were prepared under his supervision.  The result was to place the Standard Edition in  a position of unquestioned supremacy over all  other existing versions.Newly designed in a  uniform format, each new paperback in the  Standard Edition opens with a biographical essay on Freud's life and work —along with a note on  the individual volume—by Peter Gay, Sterling  Professor of History at Yale.
