- "The theme of the 'double' has been very thoroughly treated by Otto Rank (Der Doppelgänger, 1914). He has gone into the connections which the 'double' has with reflections in mirrors, with shadows, with guardian spirits, with the belief in the soul and with the fear of death; but he also lets in a flood of light on the surprising evolution of the idea. For the 'double' was originally an insurance against the destruction of the ego, an 'energetic denial of the power of death'" --The Uncanny, Sigmund Freud, 1919
Der Doppelgänger is a book by Austrian psychoanalyst Otto Rank, written in 1914 and first published in 1925.
