This book demonstrates the clinical value of making Freud more Freudian. The theoretical contributions of Charles Bremer are summarized and emphasized. They are built on an elaboration of Arlow’s "fantasy function" and Freud’s "compromise formation". The author applies this theoretical perspective in elaboration of the concepts narcissism, masochism, shame and guilt to the distinction between psychiatric and psychoanalytic diagnoses, as well as to a variety of specific clinical topics. Finally, the author emphasizes that the ubiquity of unconscious conflict demonstrate that all per

In this fascinating excursion into medical and psychoanalytic history, Paul E. Stepansky charts the rise and fall of the "surgical metaphor" - Freud’s view of psychoanalysis as analogous to a surgical procedure. Approaching Freud’s understanding of surgery and surgeons historically and biographically, Stepansky draws the reader into the world of late nineteenth-century "heroic surgery," a world into which Sigmund Freud himself was drawn. In examining the relinquishment of medicosurgical models in the years following World War I, Stepansky brings fresh historical insight to a numbe

Freud began university intending to study both medicine and philosophy. But he was ambivalent about philosophy, regarding it as metaphysical, too limited to the conscious mind, and ignorant of empirical knowledge. Yet his private correspondence and his writings on culture and history reveal that he never forsook his original philosophical ambitions. Indeed, while Freud remained firmly committed to positivist ideals, his thought was permeated with other aspects of German philosophy. Placed in dialogue with his intellectual contemporaries, Freud appears as a reluctant philosopher who failed to r

This remarkable book takes as its subject one of the most outstanding men that ever lived. The ultimate prodigy, Leonardo da Vinci was an artist of great originality and power, a scientist, and a powerful thinker. According to Sigmund Freud, he was also a flawed, repressed homosexual. The first psychosexual history to be published, Leonardo da Vinci was the only biography the great psychoanalyst wrote. When Jung first saw it, he told Freud it was ’wonderful’, and it remained Freud’s favourite composition. The text includes the first full emergence of the concept of narcissism

What is love? Why do we idealize those whom we love? How do we choose whom to love? Are some kinds of love better than others? Each age returns to these questions with renewed perplexity. Gerasimos Santas examinees the two greatest theoretical architectures of love, side by side. It provides a thorough critical description and comparison of these theories, allowing a sophisticated dialogue to emerge between the two thinkers. In the first half of the book Professor Santas reconstructs and explains Plato’s theories of eros and philia: erotic love, familial love and friendship. He attempts

When a disturbed young Russian man came to Freud for treatment, the analysis of his childhood neuroses-most notably a dream about wolves outside his bedroom window-eventually revealed a deep-seated trauma. It took more than four years to treat him, and "The Wolfman" became one of Freud’s most famous cases. This volume also contains the case histories of a boy’s fear of horses and the Ratman’s violent fear of rats, as well as the essay "Some Character Types," in which Freud draws on the work of Shakespeare, Ibsen, and Nietzsche to demonstrate different kinds of resistance to t
