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.

Depois do ano passado estudando Lacan e Deleuze, é um prazer voltar a Freud que escreve de forma delicinha de ler.
Já havia lido esses textos presentes nesse volume 6 da Companhia das Letras na versão Standard da Imago, isso lá no início da faculdade, quando eu não era muito impressionada com Freud, mas relê-lo agora foi super bem-vindo.
Só comecei a gostar de Freud quando conheci Lacan, sob a ótica lacaniana Freud se torna muito mais interessante e palatável e foi o caso de revisitar essa leitura.
Um problema que achei aqui foi insistirem na tradução de trieb como instinto, isso me deixou tão puta que nem sei. PULSÃO PULSÃO PULSÃO.
Mesmo respeitando Freud enormemente hoje em dia, ainda acho que às vezes ele força a mão nas interpretações para encaixar em qualquer coisa que ele enfia na cabeça, cinema e literatura desenvolveram meu modo de pensar analítico enormente e suponho que a literatura fez o mesmo pelo Freud, pelo menos é o que dá para entender de suas análises, mas parece que às vezes ele esquece que está lidando com seres humanos e não com obras estéticas de ficção cujas interpretações nos deixam mais livres para criar encima das mesmas.
Enfim, é um puta livro (como toda a obra do Freud), mas use com discernimento.

“Freud (1901-1905) Theory of Sexuality, The Dora Case and Other Texts” published by @CompaniadasLetras begins by talking about the naturalness of homosexuality as an expression of sexual desire in a book written at the beginning of the last century. When he refers to it as a perversion, he does not do so in a pejorative way, but only because it deviates from the course that puritans would give for the reproductive function of sexuality. Considering that all organisms are energy systems and that the mind is a psychic energy system (an electrical network in which energy flows for some purpose), Freud builds his theory based on the fact that libido is the driving force of this system. Even so, he ends up being wrong in several of his conclusions, but I understand that sometimes we have to be wrong in several of our perceptions so that our mistakes lead us to a certain success that is key to many things. His reluctance to admit that perhaps sexuality is not the driving force he imagined for the energy flow of neural networks is evident when he discusses his opinion on Carl Jung's perception of the construction of personality. However, he hit the nail on the head when he concluded that unhealthy or phobic expression of sexuality occurs when an individual represses sexual impulses rather than sublimating or expressing them.

uma leitura importante por expor algumas das ideias principais da teoria freudiana. fica meio maçante no primeiro terço mas aí ele começa a falar sobre o caso dora e fica mais legal, vira meio que uma historinha. mas nessa parte também fiquei irritada com a atitude terrível do freud de interpretar demais as coisas! ("bom dora, provavelmente vc teve esse sonho agora porque eu sou fumante e vc tem vontade de me beijar" cringe demais). os textos sobre o método psicanalítico e psicoterapia também são interessantes e teriam me ajudado muito na prova de TTP... enfim, primeiro livro do freud da coleção da companhia das letras que eu termino, e apesar de tudo, valeu a pena a leitura.

Um produto de sua época. Genial, porém também devemos estar atentos aos subtextos misóginos.
