Freud and man's soul
Book • 1983
In 'Freud and Man's Soul', Bruno Bettelheim argues that Freud's translators have distorted his work by using technical terms instead of the original German, particularly the word 'Seele' (soul).
Bettelheim sees Freud as a philosopher concerned with humanism, and he critiques the rigid interpretations of Freudian psychoanalysis that have emerged in the American psychoanalytic community.
The book aims to reclaim Freud's original intent and present a more nuanced understanding of his theories.

Recommended by Andrew Hartz as a great book about Freud's translation from German into English, focusing on the mistranslation of "psyche" as "mind".
