Killing Freud: 20th Century Culture and the Death of Psychoanalysis de Dr. Todd Dufresne

Killing Freud: 20th Century Culture and the Death of Psychoanalysis

Autor Dr. Todd Dufresne
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mar 2005
Killing Freud takes the reader on a journey through the 20th century, tracing the work and influence of one of its
greatest icons, Sigmund Freud. A devastating critique, the book ranges across the strange case of Anna O, the hysteria
of Josef Breuer, the love of dogs, the Freud industry, the role of gossip and fiction, bad manners, pop psychology and
French philosophy, figure skating on thin ice, and contemporary therapy culture. A map to the Freudian minefield and a
masterful negotiation of high theory and low culture, Killing Freud is a witty and fearless revaluation of psychoanalysis
and its real place in 20th century history. It will appeal to anyone curious about the life of the mind after the death of
Freud.
"Its erudition offers sure-fire caviar." -The Independent, U.K.
"A flamboyant and hilarious satire of one of our most revered cultural institutions, Killing Freud combines impeccable
and truly original scholarship with great wit." -Ikkel Borch-Jacobsen, author of The Freudian Subject and
Remembering Anna O

Recenzii

"Killing Freud begins by reviewing previous studies of the case of Anna O.... Dufresne depicts an unscientific and shamelessly ambitious Freud, eager to found psychoanalysis at anyone's expense."- Naomi Morgenstern, University of Toronto Quarterly, Vol. 75 No. 1, Winter 2006
"Dufresne does not attempt a demolition of Freud, though he is equipped to do that. He concentrates his fire on weak points in the enemy's defences: the way Freud systematically distorted his findings in case-histories, and the way psychoanalysis, as a profession, is a fiercely jealous guild. There is a wickedly funny section on the literal-cum-metaphoric ice-skating of Ernest Jones, Freud's English promoter and "official" biographer; and, more playful still, a supposedly unpublished memoir by an orthodox practitioner, forced to admit that psychoanalysis is nothing if not "a bad habit". Killing Freud requires some knowledge of its subject-matters: Jacques Derrida and Jacques Lacan, as much as Freud. While it is not a book for the uninitiated, for those minded to follow the Freud Wars, its erudition offers sure-fire caviar. " - The Independent
' I just spent a couple of enjoyable hours with Todd Dufresne's new book Killing Freud .......I couldn't resist cheering the show he puts on.....Because what Dufresne sets out to do is dance on Freud's grave. "How did this awful man and his worse ideas ever get themselves taken seriously? What in god's name were people thinking?" -- these are a couple of the questions Dufresne asks. " - http://www.2blowhards.com
'Its erudition offers sure-fire caviar.' The Independent
'A flamboyant and hilarious satire of one of our most revered cultural institutions, Killing Freud combines impeccable and truly original scholarship with great wit. Todd Dufresne, a distinguished Freud scholar, has written a remarkable and delightful book which joyously affirms the death of psychoanalysis without trying to prove 'Why Freud Was Wrong'. People will read this book for the sheer fun of it, but they will also learn a lot about psychoanalysis and its role in twentieth-century culture at large.' MIKKEL BORCH-JACOBSEN, author of The Freudian Subject and Remembering Anna O
'Killing Freud is a major attack on both the culture of theory and the culture of therapy, demonstrating that many of the most cherished truths of psychoanalysis are based upon misreadings, misunderstandings and blatant falsifications. Witty, provocative and admirably erudite, this is required reading for anyone with a critical - or in other words sceptical - concern for the history of psychoanalysis and the human sciences.' DAVID MACEY, author of The Penguin Dictionary of Critical Theory
