Grinstein 26442 (omitting its appearance in book form).
After reviewing the literature on the double, Rank traces its association with mirror images, shadows, ghosts, belief in the soul and fear of death, and concludes that since primitive man the "double" has been a narcissistic protection against destruction of the ego.

Grinstein 27010. Reik's second book after his 1912 book on Flaubert and the first extensive psychoanalytic work on Schnitzler, preceded only by two papers on Schnitzler in Band 2 of Imago, one by Reik and one by Hanns Sachs. Schnitzler, of course, was Freud's Doppelgänger, his Viennese "Other," also armed with an MD, whose writings laid bare the city's sexual unconscious. Years ago we had a letter from Freud to Schnitzler in the early 1920s that showed just how ambivalent Freud was. In it he was inviting Schnitzler to visit him—sort of. The invitation was accompanied by so many conditions that Freud ended up virtually disinviting Schnitzler to visit. I think it is now at the Freud Museum in Vienna.
