Sigmund Freud… Analize [sic] this! Analize this! Analize this-this-this!

"Your allegation that I treat my followers as patients is demonstrably untrue. . . . It is a convention among us analysts that none of us need feel ashamed of his own neurosis. But one [meaning Jung] who while behaving abnormally keeps shouting that he is normal gives ground for the suspicion that he lacks insight into his illness. Accordingly, I propose that we abandon our personal relations entirely.

Sigmund Freud, 1913"

Freud Lives! | Slavoj Žižek and Stephen Grosz:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XniIQaL1b8k

We are often told that psychoanalysis is dead. Outdated scientifically, in that the Freudian model of the mind has been superseded by neurobiology; outdated clinically, where the talking cure has lost ground to drug treatment or behavioural therapy; outdated socially, where the idea that we are repressed by the norms of others is no longer stocked in today’s supermarket of free choices.  But perhaps the moment of psychoanalysis has only just arrived. 

Slavoj Žižek and Stephen Grosz – a dazzling theorist and a renowned practitioner – have urgent stories to tell us about ourselves and the present state of our wishes: the wish for a trouble-free existence, and for therapies which can instantly return us to everyday reality, or unreality; the wish for science to explain our minds, or explain them away...

Discovering the unconscious at work in psychic life, Freud showed that the ego is not master in its own house, that we do not know our own minds. This is a truth with no sell-by date, and Freud’s insights are alive today more than ever. Filmed on 5th October 2017 at Emmanuel Centre, London.

Freud on transforming hysterical misery into common unhappiness:

“I do not doubt that it would be easier for fate to take away your suffering than it would for me. But you will see for yourself that much has been gained if we succeed in turning your hysterical misery into common unhappiness. With a mental life that has been restored to health, you will be better armed against that unhappiness.”

Freud on the technique of free association:

“So say whatever goes through your mind. Act as though, for instance, you were a traveller sitting next to the window of a railway carriage and describing to someone inside the carriage the changing views you see outside.”

The idea of a connection between the sadistic and masochistic perversions had already been noted by Krafft-Ebing (http://bit.ly/2ASu1IG). Freud stresses it as early as the Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (http://bit.ly/2myZECv), treating sadism and masochism as the two faces of a single perversion whose active and passive forms are to be found in variable proportions in the same individual:

‘A sadist is always at the same time a masochist, although the active or the passive aspect of the perversion may be the more strongly developed in him and may represent his predominant sexual activity.’
