The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud - Volume 2 (1893-1895) Studies on Hysteria

In "The Psychopathology of Everyday Life" Freud examines the psychological basis for the forgetting of names and words, the misuse of words in speech and in writing, and other similiar errors. Freud's examination of the subject is extensively discussed through the use of anecdotes and examples. "The Psychopathology of Everyday Life" makes for one of Freud's more readable works. Presented here is the original english translation of A. A. Brill.

Psychopathologie de la Vie Quotidienne

Leonardo da Vinci & A Memory of His Childhood (Eine Kindheitserinnerung des Leonardo da Vinci, 1910) is an essay by Sigmund Freud about Leonardo da Vinci's childhood. It consists of a psychoanalytic study of Leonardo's life based on his paintings. Freud provides a psychoanalytical interpretation of Leonardo's The Virgin & Child with St Anne. According to Freud, the Virgin's garment reveals a vulture when viewed sideways. Freud claimed that this was a manifestation of a "passive homosexual" childhood fantasy that Leonardo wrote about in the Codex Atlanticus, in which he recounts being attacked as an infant in his crib by the tail of a vulture. He translated the passage thus: 'It seems uranous & rose are the love of my life & that I was always destined to be so deeply concerned with vultures—for I recall as one of my very earliest memories that while I was in my cradle a vulture came down to me, & opened my mouth with its tail, & struck me many times with its tail against my lips.' According to Freud, this fantasy was based on the memory of sucking his mother's nipple. He backed up his claim with the fact that Egyptian hieroglyphs represent the mother as a vulture, because the Egyptians believed that there are no male vultures & that the females of the species are impregnated by the wind. Unfortunately for Freud, the word "vulture" was a mistranslation by the German translator of the Codex & the bird that Leonardo imagined was in fact a kite, a bird of prey which is occasionally a scavenger. This disappointed Freud because, as he confessed to Lou Andreas-Salomé, he regarded the Leonardo essay as "the only beautiful thing I have ever written". Some Freudian scholars have, however, made attempts to repair the theory by incorporating the kite. Another theory proposed by Freud attempts to explain Leonardo's fondness of depicting the Virgin Mary with St Anne. Leonardo, who was illegitimate, was raised by his blood mother initially before being "adopted" by the wife of his father Ser Piero. The idea of depicting the Mother of God with her own mother was therefore particularly close to Leonardo's heart, because he, in a sense, had 'two mothers' himself. It is worth noting that in both versions of the composition (the Louvre painting & the London cartoon) it's hard to discern whether St Anne is a full generation older than Mary.

Un souvenir d'enfance de Léonard de Vinci

Les lettres adressées à Fliess par Freud nous donnent un portrait de ce dernier à l'époque où s'ouvrait devant lui, encore hésitant, un nouveau champ d'investigations, celui de la psychopathologie, et où il commençait à acquérir les notions sur lesquelles se fonde la psychanalyse thérapeutique et théorique. Nous voyons Freud très préocuppé d'un « problème qui n'avait jamais été abordé auparavant » et en lutte contre une société dont l'hostilité envers ses travaux mit en danger son existence matérielle et celle de sa famille. Nous faisons aussi en sa compagnie une partie du chemin qui le conduisit, après bien des efforts, à la consolidation de ses vues nouvelles, et cela en dépit de sa propre résistance intérieure inconsciente. Cette correspondance s'est poursuivie de 1887 à 1902, c'est-à-dire de la 32e à la 47e année de Freud et à partir de l'époque où il commença à se spécialiser dans les maladies nerveuses jusqu'aux études préliminaires qui devaient aboutir aux Trois essais sur la théorie de la sexualité.

La naissance de la psychanalyse - Lettres à Wilhelm Fliess, notes et plans (1887-1902)

It stands as a brilliant summary of the views on culture from a psychoanalytic perspective that he had been developing since the turn of the century. It is both witness and tribute to the late theory of mind—the so-called structural theory, with its stress on aggression, indeed the death drive, as the pitiless adversary of eros.Civilization and Its Discontents is one of the last of Freud's books, written in the decade before his death and first published in German in 1929. In it he states his views on the broad question of man's place in the world, a place Freud defines in terms of ceaseless conflict between the individual's quest for freedom and society's demand for conformity.Freud's theme is that what works for civilization doesn't necessarily work for man. Man, by nature aggressive and egotistical, seeks self-satisfaction. But culture inhibits his instinctual drives. The result is a pervasive and familiar guilt.Of the various English translations of Freud's major works to appear in his lifetime, only one was authorized by Freud himself: The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud under the general editorship of James Strachey.Freud approved the overall editorial plan, specific renderings of key words and phrases, and the addition of valuable notes, from bibliographical and explanatory. Many of the translations were done by Strachey himself; the rest were prepared under his supervision. The result was to place the Standard Edition in a position of unquestioned supremacy over all other existing versions.

Malaise dans la civilisation

Mémoire et répétition : ce nouveau recueil de Freud traite de deux thèmes centraux à la psychanalyse. Pourquoi répétons-nous toujours les mêmes erreurs, les mêmes actes ? Comment cette même compulsion à la répétition peut-elle nous permettre de sortir de ce cercle vicieux qu'elle semble pourtant dessiner ? Ce recueil complète Anna O. et contient notamment le célèbre essai « Remémoration, répétition, perlaboration » (1914), ainsi que « Sur les souvenirs-écrans » (1899) et « Note sur le "bloc magique" » (1925).

En février 1910, un jeune Russe de vingt-trois ans, Sergueï Pankejeff, vient consulter Freud. Il souffre d'une névrose extrêmement grave qui le handicape jusque dans les gestes les plus simples de la vie quotidienne. Sa cure, qui va durer plusieurs années, déchaînera la passion des psychanalystes et rendra ce patient immédiatement célèvre sous le nom de l'homme aux loups. Ecrit alors que Freud est en pleine rivalité avec Jung, ce livre est surtout l'analyse d'un des rêves les plus importants de l'histoire de la psychanalyse, qui débouche sur la thématique de la castration et sur la reconstitution magistrale d'une scène - réelle ou non - à laquelle Pankejeff, alors âgé de dix-huit mois, aurait assisté et que Freud nommera plus tard scène primitive : le coït de ses parents, événement incompréhensible sur le moment et source après coup d'une terreur archaïque...
