In Cold War Freud Dagmar Herzog uncovers the astonishing array of
concepts of human selfhood which circulated across the globe in the
aftermath of World War II. Against the backdrop of Nazism and the
Holocaust, the sexual revolution, feminism, gay rights, and
anticolonial and antiwar activism, she charts the heated battles
which raged over Freud's legacy. From the postwar US to Europe and
Latin America, she reveals how competing theories of desire,
anxiety, aggression, guilt, trauma and pleasure emerged and were
then transformed to serve both conservative and subversive ends in
a fundamental rethinking of the very nature of the human self and
its motivations. Her findings shed new light on psychoanalysis'
enduring contribution to the enigma of the relationship between
nature and culture, and the ways in which social contexts enter
into and shape the innermost recesses of individual psyches.
