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."

Beyond The Pleasure Principle

By Sigmund Freud

Translated by James Strachey. From the cover: "The goal of alllife is death." In his study of human motivation, Freud observed that much behavior appears to exist independent of the pleasure principle. His search for this hidden principle led Freud to an examination of the organic instincts of animals, such as the migration of birds. He found that almost invariably these instincts were rooted in the compulsion to return to a previous state, to the womb. Freud's formulation of this principle of the death urge, set forth in BEYOND THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE, was bitterly attacked at first, and it was not until comparatively recent years that science has accepted it as a part of human psychology.

Freud: Political and Social Thought

By Paul Roazen

From the Preface: Since the themes within this book tend to move in several directions at the same time, a few prefatory remarks might help the reader keep the general argument in focus. The title of the book combines those intellectual traditions in which I have grown up. By "Freud" I am referring to his own writings and those of the psychiatric community which can be traced directly to his inspiration. I cannot claim to have examined comprehensively all the new developments in the psychiatry of our time. It is my conviction, however, that the ideas of Freud and his pupils, and what they have to contribute toour understanding of human nature, are important enough in intellectual history to justify treatment as a self-sufficient unit. "Political and Social Thought" in academic life has come to mean a grab bag of moral and legal ideas, in addition to more strictly social and political concepts; it also has a heritage, however, of the most re- spected kind, which begins with the philosophic activities of Plato and Aristotle, and which has over the centuries tried to relate human needs to social life.

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 3

Authorized Translation By Alix And James Strachey.

From Chapter 1. “Tin 1895 and I896 I pu tforward certain views upon the pathogenesis of hysterical symptoms and upon the mental processes occurring in hysteria. Since that time several years have passed. In now proposing, therefore, to substantiate those views by giving a detailed report of the history of a case and its treatment, I cannot avoid making a few introductory remarks, for the purpose partly of justifying from Various points of view the step 1 am takings, and partiy of diminishing teh expectations to which it will give rise. Certainly it was awkward that I was obliged to publish the results of my inquiries without there being any possibility of other specialists testing and checking them, particularly as those results were of a surprising and by no means gratifying character…”

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.
