Histórias Clínicas

Rate this book
Ao longo da vida, Freud publicou cinco grandes histórias clínicas, que se tornaram os casos paradigmáticos da clínica psicanalítica, tanto por seus sucessos quanto por seus impasses. Dora, Hans, Homem dos Ratos, Schreber e Homem dos Lobos são, ao mesmo tempo, nomes próprios de casos singulares e paradigmas das estruturas e dos tipos clínicos que eles indexam. Na escrita dessas histórias, sobressaem a escuta sensível do psicanalista atento ao detalhe e o talento inigualável do narrador que escrevia seus casos como romances. Foi o próprio Freud que insistiu na publicação conjunta desses cinco casos, reunidos pela primeira vez num único volume no Brasil, oferecendo ao leitor uma visão de conjunto dos mais célebres casos clínicos da psicanálise.

No presente volume, a tradução buscou não apenas reimprimir e reeditar, em português do Brasil, os conteúdos apresentados por Freud, mas também adaptá-los para a realidade dos leitores brasileiros – especialistas ou não –, proporcionando-lhes uma visão tanto das superfícies textuais mais aparentes quanto, sempre que possível, das camadas internas, das entrelinhas, das pressuposições mais recônditas nos textos de Freud, indelevelmente marcados por um estilo que mescla o científico e o literário. Leitura indispensável tanto para psicanalistas quanto para aqueles que se interessam em conhecer como cada sujeito inventa formas de viver com seus sintomas e sofrimentos psíquicos.

Dr. Sigismund Freud (later changed to Sigmund) was a neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, who created an entirely new approach to the understanding of the human personality. He is regarded as one of the most influential—and controversial—minds of the 20th century.

In 1873, Freud began to study medicine at the University of Vienna. After graduating, he worked at the Vienna General Hospital. He collaborated with Josef Breuer in treating hysteria by the recall of painful experiences under hypnosis. In 1885, Freud went to Paris as a student of the neurologist Jean Charcot. On his return to Vienna the following year, Freud set up in private practice, specialising in nervous and brain disorders. The same year he married Martha Bernays, with whom he had six children.

Freud developed the theory that humans have an unconscious in which sexual and aggressive impulses are in perpetual conflict for supremacy with the defences against them. In 1897, he began an intensive analysis of himself. In 1900, his major work 'The Interpretation of Dreams' was published in which Freud analysed dreams in terms of unconscious desires and experiences.

In 1902, Freud was appointed Professor of Neuropathology at the University of Vienna, a post he held until 1938. Although the medical establishment disagreed with many of his theories, a group of pupils and followers began to gather around Freud. In 1910, the International Psychoanalytic Association was founded with Carl Jung, a close associate of Freud's, as the president. Jung later broke with Freud and developed his own theories.

After World War One, Freud spent less time in clinical observation and concentrated on the application of his theories to history, art, literature and anthropology. In 1923, he published 'The Ego and the Id', which suggested a new structural model of the mind, divided into the 'id, the 'ego' and the 'superego'.

In 1933, the Nazis publicly burnt a number of Freud's books. In 1938, shortly after the Nazis annexed Austria, Freud left Vienna for London with his wife and daughter Anna.

Freud had been diagnosed with cancer of the jaw in 1923, and underwent more than 30 operations. He died of cancer on 23 September 1939.
