In this volume Paul Roazen examines different national responses to
Freud and the beginnings of psychoanalysis. He examines Freud's
work in the contexts of law, society, and class, as well as other
forms of psychology. Encountering Freud includes a brilliant essay
on Freud and the question of psychoanalysis' contribution to
radical thought, in contrast to the conservative tradition. Roazen
takes up the extravagant claims of Marcuse and Reich, and sees the
risks of then over glamorization of the beginnings of
psychoanalysis as a profession. Roazen views the legacies of Harry
Stack Sullivan, Helene Deutsch, and Erik H. Erikson as less rich
because their work conformed to the social status quo. He sees
Freud's inability to avoid an ambiguous outcome as a lack of
concern with normality and a refusal to own up to the wide variety
of psychological solutions he found both therapeutically tolerable
and humanly desirable. Roazen concludes with a series of
explorations on the dichotomies Freud left behind: clinical
discoveries versus philosophical standpoints; the relationship of
normality to nihilism; and a Defense of a therapeutic setting based
on trained specialists versus a therapeutic approach encouraging
self-expression. This is a volume that utilizes a sharp focus on
Freud and his followers and dissenters to explore the question of
political psychology at one end and psych-history at the other end
of analysis.
