There is extensive literature on Freud and language; however, there
is very little that looks at Freud's use of the spoken word. In
Freud and the Spoken Word: Speech as a key to the unconscious,
Ana-Maria Rizzuto contends that Freud's focus on the intrapsychic
function and meaning of patients' words allowed him to use the new
psychoanalytic method of talking to gain access to unconscious
psychic life. In creating the first 'talking therapy', Freud began
a movement that still underpins how psychoanalysts understand and
use the spoken word in clinical treatment and advance
psychoanalytic theory. With careful and critical reference to
Freud's own work, this book draws out conclusions on the nature of
verbal exchanges between analyst and patient. Ana- Maria Rizzuto
begins with a close look at Freud's early monograph On Aphasia,
suggesting that Freud was motivated by his need to understand the
disturbed speech phenomena observed in three of the patients
described in Studies on Hysteria. She then turns to an examination
of how Freud integrated the spoken word into his theories as well
as how he actually talked with his patients, looking again at the
Studies in Hysteria and continuing with the Dora case, the Rat Man
and the Wolf Man. In these chapters, the author interprets how
Freud's report of his own words shed light on the varying
relationships he had with his patients, when and how he was able to
follow his own recommendations for treatment and when another
factor (therapeutic zeal, or the wish to prove a theory) appeared
to interfere in communication between the two parties in the
analysis. Freud and the Spoken Word examines Freud's work with a
critical eye. The book explores his contribution in relation to the
spoken word, enhances its significance, and challenges its
shortcomings. It is written for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists,
Freud's scholars and academics interested in his views on the words
spoken in life and in psychoanalysis. Argentine born Ana-Maria
Rizzuto trained in psychoanalysis in Boston and was for forty years
in the PINE Psychoanalytic Center Faculty and is Training and
Supervisory Analyst Emerita. She has made significant contributions
to the psychoanalysis of religious experience and has written in
national and international journals about the significance of words
in the clinical situation. She has written three books and lectured
about her work in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Japan.
