The Essential Database for Psychoanalytic Research

The archive is built around full-text searchable editions of Sigmund Freud’s published works, both the 19-volume original German Gesammelte Werke and James Strachey’s English translation, the Standard Edition. Enriching our understanding of these foundational works is a growing collection of Freud’s letters and other documents from the early years of psychoanalysis. 

Among the 83 journals on PEP Archive are historic journals like Imago, Internationale Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse, and the IPA Bulletin, as well as contemporary publications that are driving the psychoanalytic debate today, such as The International Journal of Psychoanalysis, The American Journal of Psychoanalysis, and the Revue Française de Psychanalyse. The collection is international, offering journals from 16 countries published in 13 languages.

PEP Archive also publishes a range of books, including essential works by, among many others, Wilfred Bion, Melanie Klein, and Donald Winnicott.

The materials in this archive will be indispensable to clinicians and researchers working in psychology and psychiatry, as well as anthropology, philosophy, linguistics, cultural studies, and sociology.

PEP Archive is a publication of PEP, Inc., a non-profit with a mission to promote and facilitate psychoanalytic research.
