The Origin and Development of Psychoanalysis: Freud's Five Lectures at Clark University, USA, 1909
About this audiobook
Sigmund Freud delivers five lectures about the “historical survey of the origin and further development of this new method and cure.” He called this method psychoanalysis. In 1909, when he was 53, he was invited by Clark University and delivered these lectures—the first ones he delivered in the United States. In 1910 they were published in the Origin and Development of Psycho-Analysis. Freud himself explains his beliefs of the sexual drive present in infants, the examination of dreams and bungling acts, the resistance of the unconscious that influences everyday thoughts and actions, and the importance of transference in therapy.
About the author
Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) is the founder of the psychoanalytic school of psychology. In 1884 he worked with Breuer which started his investigation, development and birth of psychoanalysis. Freud believed he was able to demonstrate the normal development of the sexual drive present in infants. Then on the basis of an examination of dreams and bungling acts, he claims he was able to determine the resistance of the unconscious that influences everyday thoughts and actions. Freud observed the essential relationship between the psychoanalyst and the patient in what he called transference, establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud still exerts influence in psychology, psychiatry and psychotherapy, as well as modern Western thought with the common idea of a ”Freudian slip.” He continues to generate extensive and highly contested debate concerning psychoanalysis’s therapeutic efficacy, scientific status, and role.
