Freud on the psychology of ordinary mental life /
Sugarman, Susan.
Freud on the psychology of ordinary mental life / Susan Sugarman. - Lanham, Md. : Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, ©2010. - 1 online resource (xiii, 119 pages)
Includes bibliographical references (pages 107-112) and index.
Introduction to the inquiry -- The pleasure principle -- Meaning and determinism and the search for anomalies -- Conscious and unconscious, repression, and development -- Developmental analysis as investigatory tool studies -- Getting lost in someone else's story : "Creative writers and daydreaming" (1908) -- Why we laugh at something funny : Jokes and their relation to the unconscious (1905) -- The experience of the "uncanny" : "The 'Uncanny'" (1908) -- The paradox of surprise in the face of certainty : "A disturbance of memory on the Acropolis" (1936) -- What makes choice difficult when it is : a Freud-inspired excursion -- Mourning and mental health -- "On transience" (1916), "Mourning and melancholia" (1917).
This book works to expose that vision and to demonstrate its fertility for further inquiry. It reconstructs several of Freud's works on ordinary mental life, tracking his method of inquiry, in particular his search for the child within the adult, and culminating in a deployment of his tools independently of his analyses. It shows how to read Freud for his insight and generativity and how to push beyond the confines of his analyses in pursuit of new lines of exploration. In this endeavor, in turn, it at once echoes and encourages the spirit of play with ideas so characteristic of, and so engagi.
