Freud's lifelong involvement with the Russian national character
and culture is examined in James Rice's imaginative combination of
history, literary analysis, and psychoanalysis. 'Freud's Russia'
opens up the neglected "Eastern Front" of Freud's world--the
Russian roots of his parents, colleagues, and patients. He reveals
that the psychoanalyst was vitally concerned with the events in
Russian history and its nineteenth-century cultural greats. Rice
explores how this intense interest contributed to the evolution of
psychoanalysis at every critical stage. Freud's mentor Charcot was
a physician to the Tsar; his best friends in Paris were gifted
Russian doctors; and some of his most valued colleagues (Max
Eitingon, Moshe Wulff, Sabina Spielrein, and Lou Andreas-Salome)
were also from Russia. These acquaintances intrigued Freud and
precipitated his inquiry into the Russian psyche. Rice shows how
Freud's major works incorporate elements, overtly and covertly,
from his Russia. He describes Freud's most famous case, the
Wolf-Man (Sergei Pankeev), and traces how his personality fused, in
Freud's imagination, with that of Feodor Dostoevsky. Beyond this,
Rice reveals the remarkable influence Dostoevsky had on Freud,
surveying Freud's extensive library holdings and sources of
biographical information on the Russian novelist. Initially
inspired by the Freud-Jung letters that appeared in 1974, 'Freud's
Russia' breaks new ground. Its fresh perspective will be of
significant interest to psychoanalysts, historians of European
culture, biographers of Freud, and students of Dostoevsky in
comparative literature. It is a major work in fusing European
intellectual history with the founding father of psychoanalysis.
