Psychoanalysis - the one that we are familiar with - started in the
clinical field. Freud and Breuer made some strides in the treatment
of hysteria using hypnosis. They put together a theory of
psychopathology based on two basic notions: conflicts between
acceptable and unacceptable impulses (ideas, desires, fantasies,
etc.), and the repression of the unacceptable impulses causing the
formation of symptoms. Under hypnosis, the patients were given the
chance to abreact the repressed, and the therapeutic endeavour was
to allow catharsis, hence the origin of the term "catharsis theory"
regarding this phase of hypnosis. However, the real breakthrough in
psychoanalysis came to Freud in intuitions about matters from
outside the field of pathology and the clinic, and without the help
of hypnosis. They came from ordinary, even banal, phenomena like
dreams, slips of the tongue, and jokes. In this book, the author
covers the difference between a modified theory of catharsis and a
theory of psychoanalysis, as well as the importance of
psychodynamic diagnosis in the practice of psychoanalysis.
