contradiction

«Das heisst, ich bin kein ausgeklugelt Buch

Ich bin ein Mensch mit seinem Widerspruch.»

C.F. MEYER, Huttens letzte Tage.

(In fact, I am no clever work of fiction;

I am a man, with all his contradiction.)

Footnote in Freud’s «Little Hans» case history, 1909, lines quoted as he talk in the text about contradictive feelings:

«The emotional life of a man is in general made up of pairs of contraries. In the adult these pairs of contrary emotions do not as a rule become simultaneously consious except at the climaxes of passionate love.»

Class and Psychoanalysis

A day conference organised by Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis and The Freud Museum

Sunday 25 October 2009 9.30am-5pm  –  University College London, Gower Street WC1

This inter-disciplinary conference will investigate how the subtle effects of ‘class’ enter the therapeutic relationship and asks whether analytic theory itself has been immune from the impact of class. Is there a ‘class identity’ that affects the lives of patients, and how are we all shaped by the traumatic histories of class and class conflict? For psychoanalytic psychotherapy, is ‘class’ the ‘return of the repressed’?
