Description

A lively guide to the life and work of the father of psychoanalysis
From Anna O. to Zionism, this uniquely accessible A-to-Z reference presents a comprehensive overview of Freud's ideas, family, colleagues, patients, writings, and legacy. Mixing humor, passion, and knowledge, each of the more than 100 fascinating entries offers a revealing look at some aspect of Freud's world, be it a description of his famed pillowed office at Berggasse 19 or an account of his intense feud with former student Carl Jung.

Preface
Freud was trying to map the war zones of the heart, where air-raid sirens wail and bombs blast, and furtive souls scurry around in the half-light, frantically searching for a way back home . In a world filled with psychological land mines, he thought, any step might trigger a memory that explodes one s self-esteem, and a small trip in the psychic rubble may lead to badly sprained emotions. We belong to our past, we are its slave and pet.
-Diane Ackerman, The Natural History of Love
In 1993, Time magazine ran a cover photo of Sigmund Freud with the headline Is Freud Dead? The answer was a resounding Yes! Freud had bungled many of his clinical cases and failed to prove the efficacy of psychoanalysis, and modern drugs rendered his talking cure obsolete.
What a bad case of throwing out the baby with the bath water. Freud defined the twentieth century. To the intellectual Harold Bloom, Freud is the consciousness of modern time. Every hour of every day, someone speaks of a Freudian slip, an anal personality, a phallic symbol, dream symbolism, unconscious motives, an egomaniac, repression, inhibitions, and defensive or conflicted behavior. There are 1,247 entries for books written by or about Sigmund Freud on Amazon.com and 142,000 entries for him on the Internet. Other recent figures of great consequence-Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Albert Einstein-have not commanded comparable attention to the details of their existences. Look in the index of most any book about human behavior and you might find more citations for Sigmund Freud than anyone else-that includes the thirteen references in my first book, The Vital Touch: How Intimate Contact with Your Baby Leads to Happier, Healthier Development , a book barely relating to his work at all!
A century ago, Freud jolted our world, and it has never been the same. Love him or hate him, the inferences and reverberations of Freud s observations have irrevocably altered Western civilization. For thousands of years, people used the supernatural to explain the origins of behavior. Freud turned this belief on its head. Using the scientific tools he had at hand, his insights into the unconscious gave us a language to probe the uncharted territory of the human mind, changing how we conceptualize human nature. Today we take for granted that childhood experiences help mold our later emotional life, that our behavior often has disguised motives, and that dreams have symbolic meaning. People go for talk therapy as commonly as they previously went to confession, and sex is discussed openly in the classroom, on Oprah , and more among one another. We tend to forget the world pre-Freud, where neuroses were poorly understood and many suffered needlessly with no useful treatment available; where a general framework in which to understand dreams and other unconscious processes didn t exist; and where sexuality was viewed as base and taboo.
Freud did not discover the unconscious mind. Poets and philosophers, writers such as Goethe and Schiller, whom Freud frequently quoted, looked to the unconscious mind for the roots of creativity. Freud provided a roadmap to navigate our psychic life. Psychoanalysis was forced, through the study of pathological repression, Freud observed, to take the concept of the unconscious seriously -to elucidate how our feelings, thoughts, fears, and actions are far more intricate and fascinating than they appear on the surface, as they emerge through our dreams, jokes, slips of the tongue, mistakes, and other actions. Arming us with a way to probe this heretofore inaccessible cavern of the mind, he gave us a way to alleviate human suffering.
Because most of Freud s theories, which were developed over a sixty-year career spanning the end of the nineteenth century through the first half of the twentieth century, are presumably pass , replaced by cognition, neuropsychology, and other modern domains in the field of psychology, his hold on our mindset is a conundrum. Why doesn t he just go away?
For one, many people relate to his basic premises. It s easy to see yourself, at times, as an intrapsychic mystery, in constant conflict with inner forces of good and evil, love and death, eros and thanatos-the proverbial angel on one shoulder whispering into one ear, Carrot sticks, and the devil whispering into the other ear, Chocolate chip cookies! It s easy to sometimes feel baffled by the meanings and causes of people s simplest acts and experiences, silly mistakes, stupid comments, or seemingly senseless dreams, to feel that knowing another involves exposing and unraveling unconscious thoughts, motives, and feelings that underlay the inner deceits of daily life: jokes, slips of the tongue, dreams, repressed memories, displaced emotions, and so on.
As the most influential psychologist of the twentieth century, Freud s revolutionary theory of the person has left a mark on virtually all domains within psychology, from cognitive and perceptual psychology to psychotherapy and the study of abnormal behavior. Though Freud s basic theories have been largely discredited in the sixty-four years since his death, the modern theory of personality exists in large part as a result of the wo
