PsychoDarwinism: PsychoDarwinism The New Synthesis of Darwin & Freud

By Christopher Badcock

From the Preface: “'If my father were alive today, I don't think he would want to be a psychoanalyst.' This remark was made to me more than once by Anna Freud, Sigmund Freud's daughter and successor in psychoanalysis, in the year or two before her death in 1982. When on one occasion I asked her what she thought her father would want to be if he were alive today, she was less sure. However, that he would not wish to be a psychoanalyst she was adamant.

This, and other similar remarks by Anna Freud, greatly increased my uncertainty about what I wanted to be when the analysis I had been undergoing withher was abruptly terminated by her death. It had begun in 1979, at a time when she was wel past the maximum age at which the analvtic professionwill allow an analyst to begin an official training analvsis with a student. As a result, I faced the prospect of starting more or less at the beginning if I wished to qualify as a psychoanalyst, and of course with a new training analyst.

The Triumph of the Therapeutic: Uses of Faith After Freud

By Philip Rieff

From the Preface: "The Emergence of Psychological Man" was written as a coda to The Mind of the Moralist, it is often assigned to students and read separately now from the main body of the text. I have thought ti important to amplify the concept of psychological manfor a reason stated most succinctly by two historians in their appraisal of my work and its implications. "If the dominant character type of the twentieth century is really what Riff calls 'psychological man,' the consequences for western society are quite incalculable." As a calculus of the incalculable, The Triumph of the Therapeutic is more than amplification of what has gone before; it signifies a beginning as wel as an end. I have tried to say something about the consequences of psychological man for Western society-but not everything, for I do not consider the advance of the social sciences toward a theory of culture yet sure enough to convey such an attempt….

Psychoanalysis And History

Edited by Bruce Mazlish

From the introduction: It was an acute observer of men and matters who once remarked: "If you want to hide something, put it in the most obvious place." For centuries, mankind seems to have followed this advice: in an effort to avoid self-knowledge men ignored not only their dreams but the be- havior of their children, until Sigmund Freud detected the hidden psyche under the disguises of commonplace a n d everyday life. Like Sherlock Holmes, Freud was a master logician and detective, and for him, too, his conclusions when once reached were "elementary."

Psychological Man

Edited by Robert Boyers

This is a thoroughly revised edition of a volume published by the quarterly SALMAGUNDI (number 20, Summer-Fall 1972). That earlier collection included in its 248 pages the first version of a new work by Philip Rieff entitled "Fellow Teachers," a work which has itself undergone extensive revision and elaboration and which was published independently by Harper and Row late in 1973. A small excerpt from that book is all our present collection can claim. Now Rieff si clearly the commanding presence in this volume, as he was in the earlier periodical version, and thus we have had a major task in 'replacing' the 80-page text of "Fellow Teachers." In a sense, of course, nothing can possibly replace it, but we've feshed out the volume with a number of items that will surely be useful to students of Psychological Man, and essential for students of Rieff's theory of culture.

The Ego and the Id

Translated by Joan Riviere. Revised and newly edited by James Strachey.

From the cover: The first edition of this book, which is an English translation of Das Ich und das Es (Vienna 1923), was published by the Hogarth Press in 1927. The last of Freud's major theoretical works, it is concerned with mental structure and functioning. Apart from presenting, with new terminology, a threefold division of the mind, it contains important discussions of the concept ‘unconscious' and the genesis of the super-ego. The dichotomy between Eros and the death instinct, introduced in Beyond the Pleasure Principle, is elaborated here; the relations between the two classes of instincts and the divisions of the mind are considered, as well as the interrelations between these divisions themselves with special reference to the sense of guilt. For thepresent edition the translation has been extensively revised and an editor's introduction, two appendices and many explanatory notes and references have been added as well as a full bibliography and index.

The Future of an Illusion

By Sigmund Freud

Translated by W. D. Robson-Scott. From the cover: Sigmund Freud wrote The Future of an Illusion late in his career, when his interest in psychoanalysis hadex- panded beyond his earlier clinical concerns, and when the problems of civilization itself occupied much of his attention. One of his most controversial and unsettling works, this book is as well one of his most striking con- tributions to the study of mankind. For Freud, religious ideas are born of the need ot make tolerable man's helplessness in his environment and are conceived ni man's memories of the helplessness of his own childhood and the childhood of the human race…

Moses and Monotheism

By Sigmund Freud.

Translated from the German by Katherine Jones. From the cover: This volume contains Freud's speculations on various aspects of religion, on the basis of which he explains certain characteristics of the Jewish people in their relations with the Christians. From an intensive study of the Moses legend. Freud comes to the startling conclusion that Moses himself was an Egyptian who brought from his native country the religion he gave to the Jews. He accepts the hypothesis that Moses was murdered in the wilderness, but that his memory was cherished by the people and that his religious doctrine ultimately triumphed. Freud develops his general theory of monotheism, which enables him to throw light on the development of Judaism and Christianity. "An epoch-making work. Professor Freud here ventures into fields hitherto unexplored. The assumptions and theories contained in this remarkable book are sufficiently counterbalanced by historical facts to warrant its validity."-A. A. Brill, M.D.

Totem And Taboo: Resemblances between the psychic lives of savages and neurotics

By Sigmund Freud.

Authorized translation with an introduction by A. A. Brill, Ph.B., M.D. From the cover: In this brilliant exploratory attempt (written in 1912- 1913) to extend the analysis of the individual psyche to society and culture, Freud laid the lines for much of his later thought, and made a major contribution ot the psychology of religion. Primitive societies and the individual, he found, mutually illuminate each other, and the psychology of primitive races bears marked resemblances ot the psychology of neurotics. Basing his investigations on the findings of the anthropologists, Freud came to the conclusion that totemism and its accompanying restriction of exogamy derive from the savage's dread of incest, and that taboo customs parallel closely the symptoms of compulsion neurosis. The killing of the "primal father" and the consequent sense of guilt are seen as determining events both in the misty tribal pre-history of mankind, and in the suppressed wishes of individual men. Both totemism and taboo are thus held to have their roots in the Oedipus complex, which lies at the basis of all neurosis, and, as Freud argues, is also the origin of religion, ethics, society, and art.

Psychopathology of Everyday Life

By Sigmund Freud

Authorized English Edition with Introduction by A .A. BRILL, PH. B., M.D. From the cover: According to Sigmund Freud, the founder of the modern psychoanalytic movement, most common slips of the tongue or annoying errors are reflections of disturbances in our personalities, some ofwhich may be buried so deep that we ourselves are hardly aware of them. In this fascinating and useful volume, he analyzes the unconscious sources of ordinary errors and lapses, and draws frankly on his own experiences, as well as those of his friends and patients, to show that there is nothing accidental in psychic life. This basic handbook by one of the great thinkers of our times offers the layman a stimulating introduction to Freud's philosophy. For students of human behavior, it is required reading.

Sigmund Freud Collected Papers. Volume 1

Authorized Translation Under The Supervision Of Joan Riviere

From the editorial preface: “[T]hese Collected Papers, of which the present is the first volume, constitute the real basis of Psycho-Analysis. All Professor Freud's other work and theories areessentially founded on the clinical investigations of which these papers are the only published record. It is unfortunate that the English-speaking public should for years have had access only to what may be called the superstructure of his work, the application of his psycho-analytic method to the study of dreams, sexuality, totemism, and so on, while the basis of it all remained buried in a foreign tongue. It is now proposed to fill this central lacuna in English psycho-analytical literature by publishing, in four or more volumes, a translation of the Sammlung kleiner Schriften zur Neurosenlehre. Incidentally it may be said that the papers in this series have been re-grouped, in co-operation with Professor Freud, so that they do not follow the same order as that of the German original.”

Sigmund Freud Collected Papers Volume 4. Papers On Metapsychology Papers, On Applied Psycho-Analysis

Authorized Translation Under The Supervision Of Joan Riviere.

From the editorial preface: This volume illustrates again the difficulty of classifying papers which range oversuch a variety of topics. The first eight constitute a unity in a way in which the others donot. They treat of mental processesfrom the point of view which Professor Freud has described as metapsychological, a term which is perhaps not too happily chosen. By this he means the consideration of a given mental process in what he regards as the most complete manner possible, that is, when treated topographically, dynamically a n d economic- ally; he would not be satisfied unless it proved capable of being treated from these three points of view. From this series we might single out theessay on The Unconscious for special attention….

Sigmund Freud. Collected Papers Volume V: Miscellaneous Papers, 1888-1938

By Sigmund Freud

From the Editorial Note: The bulk of the contents of this Fifth Volume of Freud's Collected Papers is made up of his shorter writings published since the issue of the Fourth Volume in 1925. The opportunity has, however, been taken of including a number of carlier papers which, for various reasons, were omitted from the firsť four volumes of this series. Finally, a selection has also been included of his very scanty posthumous works, which were published in German under the title of Schriften aus dem Nachlassin I94I. About a dozen of the papers included in this volume (Nos. II A, B and C, III, IV, V, VIII B, IX, XIV, XXIX and XXXII) now appear for the first time in English. Of the remainder, the majority were first published in English in the International Journal of Psycho-Analysis, while a few have been collected from other sources. ÁIl of these have been revised and in a number of instances (Nos. VI, VIII A, C and D, XIX, XXII and XXV) fresh translations have been made for the present volume. The whole of the material has been arranged, with one or two small exceptions, in chronological order. Details of the origin of each paper will be found in a footnote at its beginning, and a complete list of references appears at the end of the whole book. As in the earlier volumes in the series, the translator's name is appended to each paper.

Freud, Biologist of the Mind: Beyond The Psychoanalytic Legend

By Frank J. Sulloway

From the cover: In this monumental itellectual biography, Frank Sulloway demonstrates that Freud always remained, despite his denials, a "biologist of the mind" and, indeed, that his most ereative inspirations derived significantly from biology. Sulloway analyzes the political aspects of the complex myth of Freud as "psychoanalytic hero" as it served to consolidate the analytic movement. This is a revolutionary reassessment of Freud and psychoanalysis.
