Analysing Freud...
By FrKurt Messick
Pamela Thurschwell's text on Sigmund Freud is part of a recent series put out by the Routledge Press, designed under the general editorial direction of Robert Eaglestone (Royal Holloway, University of London), to explore the most recent and exciting ideas in intellectual development during the past century or so. To this end, figures such as Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, Friedrich Nietzsche, Paul Ricoeur, and other influential thinkers in critical thought are highlighted in the series, planned to include at least 21 volumes in all.
Thurschwell's text, following the pattern of the others, includes background information on Freud and its significance, the key ideas and sources, and Freud's continuing impact on other thinkers. As the series preface indicates, no critical thinker arises in a vacuum, so the context, influences and broader cultural environment are all important as a part of the study, something with which Freud might agree.
Why is Freud included in this series? It is hard to come up with a more controversial and influential thinker in the twentieth century than Sigmund Freud. His name has become a household word by those who know absolute nothing about him or his real work. While starting out in the then newly-developed field of psychology as a primary focus, his thought and intellectual influence has extended far beyond to almost every academic field. Particularly in the areas of philosophy, politics, theology, sociology, and science, Freud's influence will continue to be significant for a number of reasons.
Thurschwell's text is well organised. In the first chapter, she recounts both a brief biographical sketch of Freud, as well as the discussion on how Freud's development of psychoanalytic ideas and processes impacted the intellectual development of the early twentieth century. It is important to know which time-period of Freud his works were produced - a career in such a new field that extended for such a length of time means that Freud's ideas not only developed rapidly, but sometimes came to contradict each other. Thurschwell sees this kind of development as a strength rather than a weakness, but it does call for increased care on the part of scholars and other interpreters, to be careful about just how much authority to lend to any particular work or idea.
One of the useful features of the text is the side-bar boxes inserted at various points. For example, during the discussion on Freud's development of sexuality (obviously a major theme in Freud from the start), there are brief discussions, set apart from the primary strand of the text, on the Super-Ego, Perversion, the Castration Complex, and Ambivalence, developing further these ideas should the reader not be familiar with them, or at least not in the way with which Freud would be working with ideas derived from them. Each section on a key idea spans twenty to thirty pages, with a two-page summary concluding each, which gives a recap of the ideas (and provides a handy reference).
The book is designed so that each chapter can be a stand-alone essay, peripherally related to each other, but not dependent upon any particular order of reading. Should the reader want a quick introduction to Freud's development on society and religion, or an overview of Freud's case histories, those can be read independently or out of sequence without any loss of accessibility by the reader. Should this text be used as part of a class, the chapters can be rearranged to suit any number of syllabi patterns.
Part of the problem of putting Freud into a series like this is that the series requires the identification of key ideas. Thurschwell develops six key areas (as opposed to ideas). The first of these are Freud's early theories on hysteria, hynosis, cathartic methods, repression, fantasy, and free association. Next comes a discussion on dream and thought interpretation. Freud's ideas on sexuality occurs next, followed by an examination of some of the case studies conducted by Freud. These are generally accessible and fascinating, not the least of which reason comes from the work with and explorations of therapeutic relationship which, if occurring today, would be at least a breach of professional ethics, and at worst legally actionable! The final two subjects include Freud's mind-mapping ideas, and his ideas for the development of society and religion.
The concluding chapter, After Freud, highlights some key areas of development in relation to other thinkers, as well as points of possible exploration for the reader. Freud's thought vis-�-vis modern ideas such as feminism, film theory, art and literary criticism, and the dialectic process of going out of fashion and coming back into vogue make his ideas as they apply to the continuing development of philosophical and intellectual history, particularly in the areas of art and literature, a relevant if controversial segment in intellectual development.
As do the other volumes in this series, Thurschwell concludes with an annotated bibliography of works by Freud, works on Freud, further readings on psychoanalytic theory and practice, and some internet resources.
While this series focuses intentionally upon literary theory, in fact this is only the starting point. For Freud (as for others in this series) the expanse is far too broad to be drawn into such narrow guidelines, and the important and impact of the ideas extends out into the whole range of intellectual development. As intellectual endeavours of every sort depend upon language, understanding, and interpretation, the thorough comprehension of how and why we know what we know is crucial.

A solid introduction
By B. F. Mooney
For years, it was hard to specifically recommend any particular introduction to Freud. This book can serve that purpose, however, whether the reader intends to go on and read Freud himself or not. A reader will come away with a grasp of basic Freudian ideas, and understand why they are still controversial and important. While much can be said for simply jumping in and reading An Interpretation of Dreams or Five Lectures on Psychoanalysis, since Freud is a fine writer and has been masterfully translated by the Stracheys, this book could be read first to make any subsequent reading of Freud a richer, more insightful experience.
The explanations are clear, the coverage comprehensive given the size of the volume, the writing interesting, and the author clearly understands her subject material. The annotated bibliography is another plus, an excellent guide for further reading.
The emphasis on a literary theory approach is sound, even for those who have other purposes in mind, for as the author suggests, all psychoanalysis is a form of "reading".

Good book... but I love Lacan
By James Crue
This was a pretty good book. But i think Lacanian psychoanalysis is way better than Freud's. Even though Lacan always claims be remaining extremely faithful to Freud, Lacan's theory is a big evolution from that of Freud's. Thurschwell definitely writes and presents Freud in a logical and interesting way...but I am just too enamored by Lacan to be enamored by Freud. Lacan's interpretations of Freud do so much.
