From the June 2022 press release: The British Psychoanalytical Society (Incorporating the Institute of Psychoanalysis) and Rowman & Littlefield, an imprint of The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, Inc., of Lanham, Maryland, announced a co-publishing agreement to release the Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud under the executive editorship of Professor Mark Solms. Commissioned by the British Psychoanalytical Society, the new 24-volume set preserves the original Standard Edition English translation and notes by James Strachey, published between 1953 and 1966, while adding a new layer of retranslations with explanatory annotations under the editorial leadership of Professor Solms.

Rosine Jozef Perelberg, President of the British Psychoanalytical Society, said, “With this publication, Freud’s complete works will again be available to a wide readership. Carefully corrected and updated with important scholarship by Professor Solms over the past 30 years, the much-awaited Revised Standard Edition will be an indispensable tool for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and philosophers, as well as those working in the humanities.” Julie Kirsch, Vice President and Publisher for Rowman & Littlefield, said, “Sigmund Freud forever changed our understanding of human thought, behavior, and culture.
