Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermine Hug-Hellmuth was an extremely gifted and intelligent woman, with a poetic mind that had been influenced by the German Romantic Movement. Her untimely murder at the age of fifty-four by her illegitimately born nephew Rolph has cast a shadow over her reputation. Her original contribution to understanding the mind of the child, her fine appreciation of the psychological suffering of the illegitimate child, and her challenge to Freud's theory about female sexuality has been largely ignored in order to save the reputation of the history of psychoanalysis. Her murder needs to be understood against the backdrop of the many tragedies she suffered. She lost her mother, Ludovika, when she was twelve, and her father, Hugo, deceived her over her illegitimately born half-sister Antonia. Hermine felt deeply unloved and could never trust anyone to get close to her. When Antonia died, leaving behind her nine-year-old illegitimately born son Rolph, Hermine was faced again with the stigma of illegitimacy and her father's lie about Antonia. She was further humiliated by Antonia's stipulation in her will that Rolph was not to be cared for by Hermine. The sisters had fallen out over Hermine's analysis with self-styled psychoanalyst Isidor Sadger, who disliked Antonia, and Hermine publishing extensive observations about Rolph and his sexual behaviour. Rolph was a troubled child and his disrupted upbringing after his mother's death was compounded by Hermine's ambivalent behaviour towards him. In the end, her father's lie, Antonia's will, and the behaviour of her delinquent nephew rebounded upon her and the intergenerational trauma achieved its nemesis in her murder.. Prophecy Coles brings new insights to the life of the first child psychoanalyst. She reveals Hug-Hellmuth to be a woman before her time in her profound understanding of children, women's sexuality and desires, the impact of a mother's state of mind upon inter-uterine life, and the concept of "motherese", the universal pre-verbal language of mothers and their newborn babies. Coles exposes Hug-Hellmuth's genius, her flaws, and her inadequate care of her troubled nephew to create a rounded picture of a brilliant woman trying to find her own path while struggling with her own demons and the constraints of the time.
Download or read book A History of Child Psychoanalysis written by Pierre Geissmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-11-10 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child analysis has occupied a special place in the history of psychoanalysis because of the challenges it poses to practitioners and the clashes it has provoked among its advocates. Since the early days in Vienna under Sigmund Freud child psychoanalysts have tried to comprehend and make comprehensible to others the psychosomatic troubles of childhood and to adapt clinical and therapeutic approaches to all the stages of development of the baby, the child, the adolescent and the young adult. Claudine and Pierre Geissmann trace the history and development of child analysis over the last century and assess the contributions made by pioneers of the discipline, whose efforts to expand its theoretical foundations led to conflict between schools of thought, most notably to the rift between Anna Freud and Melanie Klein. Now taught and practised widely in Europe, the USA and South America, child and adolescent psychoanalysis is unique in the insight it gives into the psychological aspects of child development, and in the therapeutic benefits it can bring both to the child and its family.
Download or read book After Education written by Deborah P. Britzman and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In After-Education Deborah P. Britzman raises the startling question, What is education that it should give us such trouble? She explores a series of historic and contemporary psychoanalytic arguments over the nature of reality and fantasy for thinking through the force and history of education. Drawing from the theories of Anna Freud and Melanie Klein, she analyzes experiences of difficult knowledge, pedagogy, group psychology, theory, and questions of loneliness in learning education. Throughout the book, education appears and is transformed in its various guises: as a nervous condition, as social relation, as authority, as psychological knowledge, as quality of psychical reality, as fact of natality, as the thing between teachers and students, as an institution, and as a play between reality and fantasy.

Download or read book Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Illegitimacy Adoption and Reproduction Technology written by Prophecy Coles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-07 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Prophecy Coles traces the existential history of the unwanted child with particular attention to the illegitimate child, linking myth, literature and clinical practice in the historical and legal context of adoption. From the time of the Reformation in the sixteenth century until the early twentieth century the lives of such children were short-lived. The Adoption Act of 1926 did much to change the moral climate and the fate of the illegitimate child. It provided the child with a legal family and a name. There follows some unexpected difficulties that emerged after World War Two. Adopted children did not necessarily thrive, and young mothers who had been forced to give up a child born out of wedlock revealed their suffering. The sealed records of the illegitimate child’s origins became an issue. Attachment theory and the development of neuroscience underpin the theoretical approach of this book. Today, the children who are available for adoption are older and may be distressed by several years in care. Fundamental to helping these adopted children and their families there needs to be a multi-disciplined therapeutic approach to try and mitigate the damage that has often been done to the early infant brain through trauma. This book brings to life some of the adoption issues through the study of personal memoirs. Each chapter considers adoption from a different angle: the adopted child, the birth mother, the birth father, foster parents and adopting parents. The final chapter discusses some of the problems around adoption that have arisen again with reproductive technology and surrogate mothering. This book will be of interest to all those who have been involved in or affected by adoption. It will be of special interest to those adopting parents who have not been properly prepared or supported in their magnificent work of taking on some of the most troubled children in our society.
Download or read book The Life and Work of Joan Riviere written by Marion Bower and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life and Work of Joan Riviere traces her journey from dressmaker’s apprentice, and member of the Society for Psychical Research, to Sigmund Freud’s patient and his favourite translator. Marion Bower examines Riviere’s important legacy and contribution to the early development of psychoanalysis. Riviere was also a close friend and colleague of Melanie Klein and wrote her own highly original and influential papers on female sexuality and other topics, in particular Womanliness as a Masquerade (1929). Her position in the British Psychoanalytic Society was unusual as a direct link between Freud and Klein. Her own papers were extraordinarily prescient of developments in psychoanalysis, as well as the social climate of the time. Riviere’s experience as a dressmaker gave her an interest in female sexuality, and she proceeded to significantly challenge Freud’s views. She also defended Klein from ferocious attacks by Melitta Schmideberg (Klein's daughter) and Anna Freud. The Life and Work of Joan Riviere will appeal to anyone interested in the history of psychoanalysis as well as Riviere’s highly original perspectives involving feminist thought and female sexuality.

Download or read book Invention in the Real written by Linda Clifton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Papers of the Freudian School of Melbourne, Volume 24 give testament to that quasi - suicidal risk taken by analysts and members of the school, in applying, not a technique, but the Freudian method to their clinical practice, to their seminars, to their writing and to the functioning of the School itself. In pursuing a practice that seeks to avoid the inertia spoken of by Lacan, the contributors to this volume take the risk of encountering the impasses of the clinic today and the incompleteness of Lacanian theory with invention. Being marked by the residue of the psychoanalytic clinic they continue to work their transference to that clinic and to the texts of Freud and Lacan. Included in this volume is a paper by Oscar Zentner, founder of the School as well as translations of papers and extracts from books by analysts from overseas.

Download or read book The Trauma of Freud written by Paul Roazen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over one hundred years have passed since Sigmund Freud first created psychoanalysis. The new profession flourished within the increasing secularization of Western culture, and it is almost impossible to overestimate its influence. Despite its traditional aloofness from ethical questions, psychoanalysis attracted an extraordinary degree of sectarian bitterness. Original thinkers were condemned as dissidents and renegades and the merits of individual cases have been frequently mixed up with questions concerning power and ambition, as well as the future of the "movement." In The Trauma of Freud, Paul Roazen shows how, despite this contentiousness, Freud's legacy has remained central to human selfawareness.Roazen provides a much-needed sequence and perspective on the memorable issues that have come up in connection with the history of Freud's school. Topics covered include the problem of seduction, Jung's Zurich school, Ferenczi's Hungarian following, and the influence of Melanie Klein and Anna Freud in England. Also highlighted are Lacanianism in France, Erik Erikson's ego psychology, and Sandor Rado's innovations. In considering these historical cases and related public scandals, Roazen continually addresses important general issues concerning ethics and privacy, the power of orthodoxy, creativity, and the historiography of psychoanalysis. Throughout, he argues that rival interpretations are a sign of the intellectual maturity and sophistication of the discipline. Vigorous debate is healthy and essential in avoiding ill-considered and dogmatic self-assurance.He observes that potential zealotry lies just below the surface of even the most placid psychoanalytic waters even today. Examining the past, so much a part of the job of scholarship, may involve challenging those who might have preferred to let sleeping dogs lie. Roazen emphasizes that Freud's approach rested on the Socratic conviction that the unexamined life is not worth living and that this constitutes the spiritual basis of its influence beyond immediate clinical concerns. The Trauma of Freud is a major contribution to the historical literature on psychoanalysis.

Download or read book Influential Papers from the 1920s written by R.D. Hinshelwood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1920s was the decade when psychoanalysis moved from the fringes of accepted medical practice into the mainstream. It also witnessed the birth of the English-language International Journal of Psychoanalysis. Freud continued to dominate the psychoanalytic arena with his continuing innovations and expansion of ideas but topics of interest outside of his inspiration also grew. The influx of women into the profession led to new discussions on female sexuality and, possibly, to greater interest in psychoanalysing children. The papers in this volume deal with substantial issues in the development of psychoanalysis that still have profound echoes in psychoanalytic discussion today. Beautifully edited, with the papers divided into their subject matter and contextualised through comprehensive and clear introductions, this is an essential anthology of classic papers with contributions from Karl Abraham, Sandor Ferenczi, Anna Freud, Edward Glover, Karen Horney, Ernest Jones, Melanie Klein, Joan Rivière, and Hermine von Hug-Helmuth.
Download or read book Anna Freud Melanie Klein and the Psychoanalysis of Children and Adolescents written by Alex Holder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central theme of this book is concerned with the controversies on technique between Anna Freud and Melanie Klein in the 1920s and 1930s, and with a clear differentiation between child analysis proper and analytical child psychotherapy. Alex Holder takes into account the historic background in which child psychoanalysis developed, especially World War II and the Nazi regime in Germany. The author also looks at the way child psychoanalysis developed in specific institutions, such as the Hampstead Child Therapy Course in London, and in specific areas, such as the spread of child analysis in the US. The concluding chapter is on the importance of knowledge of child analysis among psychoanalysts working with adults. The differences in the theories of the two "greats" in child analysis, Anna Freud and Melanie Klein, are examined one by one, including such concepts as the role of transference, the Oedipus complex and the superego.
