Originally published in 1984, this book broke new ground in
assessing Freud as both an exemplary late-Victorian and as a
pivotal figure in the creation of modern thought and culture. In
his close reading of various of Freud's theoretical and clinical
texts, including two of the most famous case histories, Steven
Marcus uncovers the steps in the development of Freud's thought,
the dynamics and contradictions and 'the intellectual and emotional
urgings, forces and conflicts that were at work... as the first
original insights and discoveries that constituted the inception of
psychoanalysis as a theory, discipline of inquiry, and new kind of
therapy, came suddenly, often unexpectedly and without being
bidden, upon Freud'. Central to Professor Marcus' inquiry is the
relationship of Freud's work to cultural change and to the very
process of disclosure, formation and construction in the transition
to modernity. Freud's writings, and the psychoanalytic discipline
of which they are the foundations, are placed in the context of
their contribution to modern modes of thought, and of their
influence on our notions of the centres of significance of each
existence as a whole. Freud and the Culture of Psychoanalysis is a
major contribution to our understanding of how ideas and theories
become internalized into the intellectual framework of our lives
and affect the way we think about the world. By moving backward and
forward from pre-Freudian to post-Freudian thinkers, Professor
Marcus takes us on a journey through cultural transition that is
also an exploration of how the individual interacts with his own
moment in history to forge new modes of consciousness.
