Freud's Thinking

About The Book

In this brief but comprehensive introduction to Freud's theories Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen provides a step-by-step overview of his ideas regarding the unconscious the cure sexuality drives and culture highlighting their indebtedness to contemporary neurophysiological and biological assumptions. The picture of Freud that emerges is very different from that of the fact-finding scientist he claimed to be. Bold conceptual innovations - repression infantile sexuality the Oedipus complex narcissism the death drive - were not discoveries made by Freud but speculative constructs placed on clinical material to satisfy the requirements of the general theory of the mind and culture that he was building. Freud's Thinking provides a final accounting of this mirage of the mind that was psychoanalysis.
