Abstract
The term ‘leisure’ does not appear in the General Subject Index of Volume XXIV, Indexes and Bibliographies, of The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud (Freud, 1974; see the Bibliography which follows the Notes to this chapter). It is all the more tempting, then, to claim for the idea of leisure a central role in the interpretation of the Freudian oeuvre, and correspondingly, to look to his writings for a key to the understanding of leisure in its specifically modern forms. To suggest, in fact, that he deserves a pre-eminent position among the notably small number of writers to have seriously proposed a leisure theory.
