Sandor Ferenczi, Sigmund Freud's brilliant pupil as well as an
innovative psychoanalyst, was silenced by various generations of
his contemporaries until, in the past decades, his work began to be
rediscovered. Certain aspects of his trauma theory, in fact, had
never been thoroughly addressed, particularly, the connection he
made between trauma and language. Miguel Gutierrez-Pelaez offers a
new reading of Ferenczi by proposing a dialogue between the
Hungarian psychoanalyst's work, philosophy, and contemporary
psychoanalysis. Among the subjects covered, the book delves into
the vulnerability of children and Ferenczi's never-ending search
for a cure, the complex issue of war trauma and, more specifically,
his anticipatory work in understanding the effects on the human
psyche of the horrific experiences in concentration camps during
World War II. These issues are raised against the backdrop of
captivating figures like Jacques Lacan, Emmanuel Levinas, Giorgio
Agamben, Derrida, Nietzsche, and Primo Levi, among others.
