What is this Professor Freud Like? A Diary of an Analysis with Historical Comments

What is this Professor Freud Like? A Diary of an Analysis with Historical Comments

In 1921 a young female doctor started analysis with Sigmund Freud. In a diary she recorded what moved her. The present volume not only contains a full translation of these records but also collects four essays by two psychoanalysts and two analytical historians who take their cue from the young doctor's notes to think about Freud and his methods. The discovery of the diary marks a small sensation for the history of social science. Three factors make the document unique: first it records not a training analysis but the analysis of an actual patient second the analysis took place before Freud fell ill with cancer and third the analysand obviously noted down what was said in the practice word by word. | What is this Professor Freud Like?

A Dangerous Legacy Judaism and the Psychoanalytic Movement

A Dangerous Legacy Judaism and the Psychoanalytic Movement

On 23rd July 1908 Sigmund Freud wrote to his colleague Karl Abraham: Rest assured that if my name were Oberhuber an obviously non-Jewish name in spite of everything my innovations would have met with far less resistance. From its beginning psychoanalysis has been seen as a Jewish affair and psychoanalysts have always been afraid of ending up in the position of the Jew - that of the outsider. In A Dangerous Legacy: Judaism and Psychoanalysis Hans Reijzer examines how psychoanalysts have managed that fear in the recent past and in the present. During his research which led him to Vienna Paris Amsterdam London Jerusalem Hamburg and Durban Reijzer encountered malicious as well as enlightening statements situations and incidents. A Dangerous Legacy is a striking study of an interesting area of research. Reijzer's conclusion is surprising: stereotypes about Jews are a factor not only in the everyday world but also in the psychoanalytic world as soon as Jews take part in it. | A Dangerous Legacy Judaism and the Psychoanalytic Movement

Feminine Law Freud Free Speech and the Voice of Desire

Feminine Law Freud Free Speech and the Voice of Desire

Feminine Law: Freud Free Speech and the Voice of Desire explores the conjunction between psychoanalysis and democracy in particular their shared commitments to free speech. In the process it demonstrates how lawful constraints enable an embodied space or gap for the potentially disruptive but also liberating and novel flow of desire and its symbols. This space intuited by the First Amendment as it is by Freud's free association enables personal and collective sovereignty. By naming a feminine law we mark the primacy a space between the conceivable and the inconceivable between knowledge and mystery. What do political free speech and psychoanalytic free association have in common besides the word free? And what do Sigmund Freud and Justice Louis Brandeis share besides a world between two great wars? How is the female body a neglected key to understanding the conditions and contradictions of free discourse? Drs. Jill Gentile and Michael Macrone take up these questions and more in their wide-ranging often passionate exploration of the hidden legacy of Freud and the Founding Fathers. | Feminine Law Freud Free Speech and the Voice of Desire

Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Reading Paul Howard: The Art of Ross O’Carroll Kelly offers a thorough examination of narrative devices satirical modes cultural context and humour in Howard’s texts. The volume argues that his academic critical neglect is due to a classic bifurcation in Irish Studies between high and popular culture and it will use the thought of Pierre Bourdieu Sigmund Freud Mikhail Bakhtin and Jacques Derrida to critique this division building a theoretical platform from which to examine the significance of Howard’s work as an Irish comic and satirical writer. Addressing both the style and the substance of his work this text locates him in a tradition of Irish satirical writing that dates back to the Gaelic bards and it includes writers like Swift Wilde Flann O’Brien and Joyce. Through textual and contextual analysis this book makes the case for Howard as a significant and original voice in Irish writing whose fusion of the three traditional types of satire (Horatian Juvenalian and Menippean) has created a parallel Ireland that shines a satirical light on its real counterpart. As Freud suggests humour is a way of accessing aspects of the psyche that normative discourses cannot enunciate and Howard through the confessional voice of Ross offers a fictive truth on 20 years of Irish society a truth that is not accessed by discourse in the public sphere or by what could be termed literary or high cultural fiction. | Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Freud Alder and Jung Discovering the Mind

Freud Alder and Jung Discovering the Mind

Walter Kaufmann completed this the third and final volume of his landmark trilogy shortly before his death in 1980. The trilogy is the crowning achievement of a lifetime of study writing and teaching. This final volume contains Kaufmann's tribute to Sigmund Freud the man he thought had done as much as anyone to discover and illuminate the human mind. Kaufmann's own analytical brilliance seems a fitting reflection of Freud's and his acute commentary affords fitting company to Freud's own thought. Kaufmann traces the intellectual tradition that culminated in Freud's blending of analytic scientific thinking with humanistic insight to create a poetic science of the mind. He argues that despite Freud's great achievement and celebrity his work and person have often been misunderstood and unfairly maligned the victim of poor translations and hostile critics. Kaufmann dispels some of the myths that have surrounded Freud and damaged his reputation. He takes pains to show how undogmatic how open to discussion and how modest Freud actually was. Kaufmann endeavors to defend Freud against the attacks of his two most prominent apostate disciples Alfred Adler and Carl Gustav Jung. Adler is revealed as having been jealous hostile and an ingrate a muddled thinker and unskilled writer and remarkably lacking in self-understanding. Jung emerges in Kaufmann's depiction as an unattractive petty and envious human being an anti-Semite an obscure and obscurantist thinker and like Adler lacking insight into himself. Freud on the contrary is argued to have displayed great nobility and great insight into himself and his wayward disciples in the course of their famous fallings-out. | Freud Alder and Jung Discovering the Mind
