Freud and Culture

Freud and Culture

In this book Eric Smadja explores the representations of society and culture that Freud developed in the course of his work. Distinct from contemporary sociological and anthropological conceptions they led to his construction of a personal socio-anthropology that was virulently criticised by the social sciences. But what exactly is meant here by 'culture' and 'society'? Do we mean Freud's own Viennese society or Western 'civilised' society in general? In addition Freud was interested in historical and 'primitive' societies from the evolutionist perspective of the British anthropologists of his time. This book considers the interrelationship between these different societies and cultures and raises many questions. What constitutes a culture? What are its essential traits its functions its relationships with society with nature and with other aspects of 'reality' or of the 'external world'? How did Freud construct the idea of culture? What roles does culture play in the development of the individual in the construction and functioning of his or her psyche? | Freud and Culture

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

The Trauma of Freud

The Trauma of Freud

Over one hundred years have passed since Sigmund Freud first created psychoanalysis. The new profession flourished within the increasing secularization of Western culture and it is almost impossible to overestimate its influence. Despite its traditional aloofness from ethical questions psychoanalysis attracted an extraordinary degree of sectarian bitterness. Original thinkers were condemned as dissidents and renegades and the merits of individual cases have been frequently mixed up with questions concerning power and ambition as well as the future of the movement. In The Trauma of Freud Paul Roazen shows how despite this contentiousness Freud's legacy has remained central to human selfawareness. Roazen provides a much-needed sequence and perspective on the memorable issues that have come up in connection with the history of Freud's school. Topics covered include the problem of seduction Jung's Zurich school Ferenczi's Hungarian following and the influence of Melanie Klein and Anna Freud in England. Also highlighted are Lacanianism in France Erik Erikson's ego psychology and Sandor Rado's innovations. In considering these historical cases and related public scandals Roazen continually addresses important general issues concerning ethics and privacy the power of orthodoxy creativity and the historiography of psychoanalysis. Throughout he argues that rival interpretations are a sign of the intellectual maturity and sophistication of the discipline. Vigorous debate is healthy and essential in avoiding ill-considered and dogmatic self-assurance. He observes that potential zealotry lies just below the surface of even the most placid psychoanalytic waters even today. Examining the past so much a part of the job of scholarship may involve challenging those who might have preferred to let sleeping dogs lie. Roazen emphasizes that Freud's approach rested on the Socratic conviction that the unexamined life is not worth living and that this constitutes the spiritual basis of its influence beyond immediate clinical concerns. The Trauma of Freud is a major contribution to the historical literature on psychoanalysis.
