Psychoanalytické chorobopisy

Rate this book
Z množstva chorobopisov svojich pacientov vybral Sigmund Freud niekoľko najzaujímavejších a rozhodol sa ich publikovať. Každý z nich určitým spôsobom ilustruje jeho chápanie neurotických ochorení a koncepciu psychoanalýzy. Okrem odbornej hodnoty majú tieto texty vynikajúcu literárnu úroveň. Dokazujú autorovu schopnosť majstrovsky analyzovať ľudské vnútro, odvahu povedať pravdu aj o jeho temných stránkach duše, správaní a motivácii človeka, o dobe a morálke. Portrétmi Dory, Malého Hansa, Človeka s potkanmi, dr. Schrebera i Človeka s vlkmi sa „detektív erotických citov“ zaradil nielen ku klasikom psychoanalýzy, ale aj medzi významné literárne postavy svojej doby. Freudove Psychoanalytické chorobopisy sú teda nielen zárukou poučenia, ale aj hlbokého čitateľského zážitku.

Dr. 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.

This one was hard to read, hard to get everything - and I don't even claim that I have done that.
I wanted to stop reading on several occasions and give it 2 or 3 stars, but then found parts that I really liked and would give 5 to those.

I especially liked two cases when Freud was talking about:
1. a patient with OCD - as I like to think that I now understand that condition a little better - and
2. a case of a child getting neurotic disorders from sexual or sexualized episodes from early childhood. This one made me think about parenting and encourages me to be very sensitive about everything that revolves about sexuality and proceed with caution.
