Sigmund Freud and His Impact on the Modern World, volume 29 of
The Annual of Psychoanalysis, is a comprehensive reassessment of
the influence of Sigmund Freud. Intended as an unofficial companion
volume to the Library of Congress's exhibit, "Sigmund Freud:
Conflict and Culture," it ponders Freud's influence in the context
of contemporary scientific, psychotherapeutic, and academic
landscapes.
Beginning with James Anderson's biographical remarks, which are
geared specifically to the objects on display in the Library of
Congress exhibit, and Roy Grinker Jr.'s more personal view of
Freud, the volume branches out in various directions in an effort
to comprehend the multidimensional and multidisciplinary richness
of Freud's contribution. In section II, we find authoritative
summaries of Freud's scientific contributions, of his continuing
impact as a thinker, of his notion of symbolization in the context
of recent neuroscientific findings, and of his status as a
"cultural subversive."
In section III, contributors hone in on more specific aspects of
Freud's legacy, such as an experimental method to review how
Freud's idea of childhood sexuality has fared and a look at the
women who became analysts in the United States. In the concluding
section of the volume, contributors turn to Freud's influence in
various humanistic disciplines: literature, drama, religious
studies, the human sciences, the visual arts, and cinema.
With this scholarly yet highly accessible compilation, the Chicago
Institute provides another service to its own community and to the
wider reading public. Sure to enhance the experience of all those
attending "Sigmund Freud: Conflict and Culture," Sigmund Freud and
His Impact on the Modern World will appeal to anyone desirous of an
up-to-date overview of the man whose work shaped the psychological
sensibility of the century just past and promises to reverberate
throughout the century just born.
