PSYCHOLOGY
Sigmund Freud and the Development of Psychoanalysis
SPRING PN226
Wednesday
Michelle Sludds-Hickey
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is credited with founding psychoanalysis, a therapeutic method in which the patient lies on a couch while the analyst sits behind listening to the patient’s speech and interpreting the unconscious material emerging within it. He left twenty-four volumes of published work, in addition to many letters of correspondence. This course provides an introduction to Freud’s key ideas on hysteria, the unconscious, dreams, sexual development, parapraxes (‘Freudian slips’) and jokes, pleasure, and the individual and society. We will also examine two of his famous case studies, one on neurosis and a second on psychosis.
