Description
Ilse Grubrich-Simitis examines two key works by Sigmund Freud: Studies on Hysteria and Moses and Monotheism. Her study reveals why Studies on Hysteria is considered the 'primal book' of psychoanalysis, offering a dramatic account of the birth of the psychoanalytic method.
Grubrich-Simitis explores how contemporary traumatic events in Nazi Germany may have influenced Freud's return to his original theory of trauma in Moses and Monotheism. She applies the psychoanalytic method to the Moses manuscripts to shed new light on archaic forms of defence, pointing the way forward for modern psychoanalysis.
This collection re-establishes the importance of these two major Freudian texts, offering a fresh understanding of their significance. Elegantly constructed and persuasively argued, Early Freud and Late Freud is a valuable contribution to our understanding of Freud's work.
