This book draws on a number of Freud's lesser-known works to
explore psychoanalytic perspectives on memory, mourning and
repetition. It is remarkable that Freud in his speculations on the
human psyche often took his point of departure in an insignificant
detail. It might be a lapse of memory or a detail in a piece of
art. From here he uncovered the many layers of the psyche, its
complex structure and the processing of meaning right to the limit
of understanding. At this point Freuds exploration encountered the
unknown, an internal outland as difficult to acknowledge as the
external reality. Freud did not invent the unconscious but he
demonstrated how it works. The unconscious according to Freud does
not exist, but insists on making itself visible. The eleven essays
in this book draw a picture of the critical humanistic thinking so
characteristic of Freud. His concepts and suppositions were the
result of many years' speculations, based on observation,
experience and ideas, and although they are marked by the time and
culture from which they emerged, they demonstrate a revolutionary
knowledge of the psyche transcending the knowledge of his time. In
her reading of the chosen texts the author has chosen the position
of a contemporary interpretation. Examining how psychoanalytic work
on the topics of memory, mourning and repetition has changed since
Freud and how these themes remain of crucial importance in
contemporary psychoanalytic theory, this book intersperses theory
with clinical practice. It will be of great interest to training
and practicing psychoanalysts, as well as scholars of art,
literature and sociology.
