(Mis)Understanding Freud with Lacan, Zizek, and Neuroscience

Viac o knihe

Exploring five fundamental Freudian concepts—pleasure principle, primary processes, unconscious, transference, and reality principle—this book argues they are often misunderstood, even by professionals. It critiques post-Freudian theories from neuropsychoanalysis to identity politics, revealing distortions in contemporary interpretations. The author highlights Freud's unpublished Project for a Scientific Psychology as a foundational framework that connects psychoanalysis with neurology while challenging modern brain sciences. This work is aimed at students and scholars in psychoanalysis and clinical psychology.
