Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen Libri
Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen indaga la costruzione dei "fatti" psichici, sottolineando come i resoconti storici dei disturbi mentali si intreccino con continue ridefinizioni. Il suo lavoro, plasmato dalla filosofia post-strutturalista francese, approfondisce la storia e la filosofia della psichiatria e della psicoanalisi. Borch-Jacobsen è riconosciuto per le sue posizioni polemiche nei persistenti dibattiti sulla psicoanalisi. Il suo approccio evidenzia come i contesti storici e sociali modellino attivamente gli stati psicologici.
Freud's Thinking
An Introduction
In this brief but comprehensive introduction to Freud's theories, Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen provides a step-by-step overview of his ideas regarding the unconscious, the cure, sexuality, drives, and culture, highlighting their indebtedness to contemporary neurophysiological and biological assumptions. The picture of Freud that emerges is very different from that of the fact-finding scientist he claimed to be. Bold conceptual innovations - repression, infantile sexuality, the Oedipus complex, narcissism, the death drive - were not discoveries made by Freud, but speculative constructs placed on clinical material to satisfy the requirements of the general theory of the mind and culture that he was building. Freud's Thinking provides a final accounting of this mirage of the mind that was psychoanalysis.
