Abstract
This article is intended to be a survey on some topics within the framework of automorphisms of free groups and relatively free groups of certain soluble varieties. The bibliography at the end is neither claimed to be exhaustive, nor it is necessarily connected with a reference in the text. I include it as 1 see it revolves around the concepts emerging from the investigation of automorphisms of free groups. The interested reader may find it useful to browse over the list occasionally.
