Synopsis

Sigmund Freud delivers five lectures about the “historical survey of the origin and further development of this new method and cure.” He called this method psychoanalysis. In 1909, when he was 53, he was invited by Clark University and delivered these lectures—the first ones he delivered in the United States. In 1910 they were published in the Origin and Development of Psycho-Analysis. Freud himself explains his beliefs of the sexual drive present in infants, the examination of dreams and bungling acts, the resistance of the unconscious that influences everyday thoughts and actions, and the importance of transference in therapy.

About Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) is the founder of the psychoanalytic school of psychology. In 1884 he worked with Breuer which started his investigation, development and birth of psychoanalysis. Freud believed he was able to demonstrate the normal development of the sexual drive present in infants. Then on the basis of an examination of dreams and bungling acts, he claims he was able to determine the resistance of the unconscious that influences everyday thoughts and actions. Freud observed the essential relationship between the psychoanalyst and the patient in what he called transference, establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud still exerts influence in psychology, psychiatry and psychotherapy, as well as modern Western thought with the common idea of a ”Freudian slip.” He continues to generate extensive and highly contested debate concerning psychoanalysis’s therapeutic efficacy, scientific status, and role.

As much as I understand that terminology was limited during this time and that translations may even more improperly convey the message, the second he started talking about infantile sexuality as an inherent characteristic and thumb-sucking as a sexual behaviour he kind of lost me. I know he doesn’t......more

Goodreads review by Mengsen on March 13, 2013

Lots of things that I didn't understand when I was in college become clear to me now, about what Freud was actually trying to say. Back then, in his time, due to the lack of proper words, expression and examples, it was so hard to transmit his theoretical principles to people who do not share the ex......more

This was helpful in understanding the method used in the treatment of combat veterans suffering from PTSD. And while I don't accept everything Freud asserts, I believe the method described can be helpful. Not that long, not that heavy; give it a try. I think that you too, will probably like it.......more
