The Haskell F. Norman copy of the first edition of Freud's work on cerebral palsy.

Freud's writing on cerebral palsy spanned ten years, beginning in 1889. This work, one of his best known from the period, is an extensive study of the available literature and case reports on the disorder, with Freud being the “first to focus on the occurrence of hemiatrophy on the affected paralyzed side and also helped establish the choreoathetotic form of cerebral palsy as a distinct subtype of this disorder” (Ashwal, p. 247). Freud wrote two more works on the disorder, and in 1897 together with this work, consolidated all three into his Die Infantile Cerebrallahmung, considered one of the most important works on cerebral palsy.
