Hans Sachs, the author of the books, Freud, Master and Friend (1945)and The Creative Conscious (1942), can be regarded as a pioneer psychoanalyst in the area of psychoanalytical studies of literature. This brief survey is an attempt at an introductory outline of his The Creative Conscious with an emphasis upon his theories of 'daydream'and its functions, of 'form' and of 'beauty' and 'art'. A member of the 'Seven Rings' around Sigmund Freud and editor of the Imago magazine, Sachs was a strict adherent with his ideas founded upon Freud and his ideas of id, ego and superego. In some places in his theoretical formulations of art Sachs has turned out pretty naive. However, in the historical perspective of psychoanalysis - oriented studies of literature Sachs is worth close attention as an exploring applied psychoanalysist in mid - 20th century.
