As is known, it is in the realm of experience inaugurated by psychoanalysis that we may grasp along what imaginary lines the human organism, in the most intimate recesses of its being, manifests its capture in a symbolic dimension.

WHAT DOES PSYCHOANALYSIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis is a set of psychological and psychotherapeutic theories and associated techniques, originally popularized by Austrian physician Sigmund Freud and stemming partly from the clinical work of Josef Breuer and others. Since then, psychoanalysis has expanded and been revised, reformed and developed in different directions. This was initially by Freud's colleagues and students, such as Alfred Adler and Carl Gustav Jung who went on to develop their own ideas independently from Freud. Later neo-Freudians included Erich Fromm, Karen Horney, Harry Stack Sullivan and Jacques Lacan. The basic tenets of psychoanalysis include the following: ▪ besides the inherited constitution of personality, a person's development is determined by events in early childhood; ▪ human attitude, mannerism, experience, and thought is largely influenced by irrational drives; ▪ irrational drives are unconscious; ▪ attempts to bring these drives into awareness meet psychological resistance...

10 QUOTES WITH «PSYCHOANALYSIS»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word psychoanalysis.
1
Walter Benjamin
The camera introduces us to unconscious optics as does psychoanalysis to unconscious impulses.
2
Norman O. Brown
In its famous paradox, the equation of money and excrement, psychoanalysis becomes the first science to state what common sense and the poets have long known - that the essence of money is in its absolute worthlessness.
3
Nina Conti
I looked into studying psychoanalysis, wrote to the governing body and was about to start the year where they psychoanalyse you, four times a week, before you get to do it yourself. I just thought I'd taken the ventriloquism as far as I could. My act is so deconstructive, and I'd made all the monkey jokes anyone wanted to hear.
4
Robert Hughes
Landscape is to American painting what sex and psychoanalysis are to the American novel.
5
Eric Kandel
Psychoanalysis has a degree of unreliability about it. You will never know whether you've found the truth. You may find a subjective truth, but you don't know.
6
Stephen King
I'm not a big fan of psychoanalysis: I think if you have mental problems what you need are good pills. But I do think that if you have thinks that bother you, things that are unresolved, the more that you talk about them, write about them, the less serious they become.
7
Karl Kraus
Psychoanalysis is that mental illness for which it regards itself as therapy.
8
Jacques Lacan
Psychoanalysis is a terribly efficient instrument, and because it is more and more a prestigious instrument, we run the risk of using it with a purpose for which it was not made for, and in this way we may degrade it.
9
Jacques Lacan
As is known, it is in the realm of experience inaugurated by psychoanalysis that we may grasp along what imaginary lines the human organism, in the most intimate recesses of its being, manifests its capture in a symbolic dimension.
10
Michael Leunig
While there are many experts in the psychoanalysis of individuals, there seems to be little active authority or understanding in the matter of the persistent shared madness in everyday life. It's as if collective mental illness doesn't exist except in the vernacular and in contemporary folk myth, where it remains trapped and politically useless.
