About the author
Sigmund Freud
4,456 books8,531 followersDr. Sigismund Freud (later changed to Sigmund) was a neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, who created an entirely new approach to the understanding of the human personality. He is regarded as one of the most influential—and controversial—minds of the 20th century.
In 1873, Freud began to study medicine at the University of Vienna. After graduating, he worked at the Vienna General Hospital. He collaborated with Josef Breuer in treating hysteria by the recall of painful experiences under hypnosis. In 1885, Freud went to Paris as a student of the neurologist Jean Charcot. On his return to Vienna the following year, Freud set up in private practice, specialising in nervous and brain disorders. The same year he married Martha Bernays, with whom he had six children.
Freud developed the theory that humans have an unconscious in which sexual and aggressive impulses are in perpetual conflict for supremacy with the defences against them. In 1897, he began an intensive analysis of himself. In 1900, his major work 'The Interpretation of Dreams' was published in which Freud analysed dreams in terms of unconscious desires and experiences.
In 1902, Freud was appointed Professor of Neuropathology at the University of Vienna, a post he held until 1938. Although the medical establishment disagreed with many of his theories, a group of pupils and followers began to gather around Freud. In 1910, the International Psychoanalytic Association was founded with Carl Jung, a close associate of Freud's, as the president. Jung later broke with Freud and developed his own theories.
After World War One, Freud spent less time in clinical observation and concentrated on the application of his theories to history, art, literature and anthropology. In 1923, he published 'The Ego and the Id', which suggested a new structural model of the mind, divided into the 'id, the 'ego' and the 'superego'.
In 1933, the Nazis publicly burnt a number of Freud's books. In 1938, shortly after the Nazis annexed Austria, Freud left Vienna for London with his wife and daughter Anna.
Freud had been diagnosed with cancer of the jaw in 1923, and underwent more than 30 operations. He died of cancer on 23 September 1939.

El decimocuarto volumen, junto con "Tótem y Tabú" e "Interpretación de los sueños" para mí es el texto más pesado, ya que en este volumen aborda la metapsicología freudiana, es el argumento y descripción de los procesos psíquicos a partir del tópico, económico (el modo en que usa la energía psíquica para defender o alcanzar una meta pulsional) y dinámico. En la metapsicología se aborda sobre las pulsiones y sus distintos destinos de acuerdo al deseo y la meta de estas. Por ejemplo la represión, que es impedir la descarga para la pulsión y contenerla, pero vaya a usted a saber cuánto tiempo se resiste si va una carga de afecto intensa.
Entre los textos resaltó "Introducción al Narcisismo" donde se nos habla como el estado primitivo de la psique es la inversión de la libido sobre el Yo y en el desarrollo se fija en objetos externos, sin embargo hay estados que conlleva el retraimiento de la libido al Yo, como lo es el caso del texto "Duelo y Melancolía" donde la libido regresa al Yo como sustituto del objeto que se perdió y con toda la Identificación que implica la representación del objeto amado.
Uno de los textos que más me impresionó fue sobre la Desilusión que generó la Guerra. Hablamos de un Freud desilusionado al atestiguar como la cultura alcanzada por el pueblo, la igualdad, los derechos humanos se desaparecenpara dar paso a las pulsiones destructivas que implica la Guerra. En este texto, Freud, a través de también de su propia desilusión, se da cuenta de un sistema operado con la finalidad de solo someter y obtener. La ilusión fue la cultura y lo obtenido por esta.

March 17, 2025Read this bit on Mourning and Melancholia for the Modernism/Postmodernism course. Honestly, I dislike this man for the amount of nonsense he spews.

With the key "metapsychological" texts of 1915, and articles like "Mourning and Melancholia" and "Thoughts for the Times on War and Death," this has got to be one of the best volumes of the Standard Edition.
