Initiation into Psychoanalysis


A 2 modules email course by J Jones and AROPA

 

  • Description

This course treats of what is psychoanalysis and how it works. We teach you a few ideas and concepts of classical psychoanalysis and the methods of exploration of the unconscious. There are a lot of examples of working with Freudian slips and dream analysis.

Sigmund FreudPsychoanalysis may be said to have been born with the twentieth century; for the publication in which it emerged before the world as something new - my Interpretation of Dreams - bears the date "1900". But, as may well be supposed, it did not drop from the skies ready-made. It had its starting-point in older ideas, which it developed further; it sprang from earlier suggestions, which it elaborated. Any history of it must therefore begin with an account of the influences which determined its origin and should not overlook the times and circumstances that preceded its creation.
