Description
Freud sets forth with a frankness almost startling the difficulties and limitations of psychoanalysis, and also describes its main methods and results as only a master and originator of a new school of thought can do. These discourses are at the same time simple and almost confidential, and they trace and sum up the results of thirty years of devoted and painstaking research. While they are not at all controversial, we incidentally see in a clearer...

In Wilhelm Jensen's 1903 novel Gravida, an archaeologist becomes obsessed with a woman depicted in an ancient bas-relief-who he then pursues in his dreams. Freud's reading of the novel finds parallels and similarities to his own conception of the psychology of dreams, and sees in Jensen's hero unresolved feelings for a childhood playmate. This volume prints Jensen's novel in full, followed by Freud's profound, book-length essay.

When psychoanalytic investigation, which usually contents itself with frail human material, approaches the great personages of humanity, it is not impelled to it by motives which are often attributed to it by laymen. It does not strive 'to blacken the radiant and to drag the sublime into the mire'; it finds no satisfaction in diminishing the distance between the perfection of the great and the inadequacy of the ordinary objects. But it cannot help...

La division du psychique en un psychique conscient et un psychique inconscient constitue la prémisse fondamentale de la psychanalyse, sans laquelle elle serait incapable de comprendre les processus pathologiques, aussi fréquents que graves, de la vie psychique et de les faire rentrer dans le cadre de la science. Encore une fois, en d'autres termes : la psychanalyse se refuse à considérer la conscience comme formant l'essence même de la vie psychique,...
