On Freud's "Mourning and Melancholia" Quotes Showing 1-2 of 2
“In mourning it is the world which has become poor and empty; in melancholia it is the ego itself.”
Sigmund Freud , On Freud's "Mourning and Melancholia"
“,,The danger that arises to someone when a love
object is “lost”—through death, or betrayal, or disappointment—is
not primarily the loss of that particular person or institution or ideal;
the danger is to the person’s sense of himself, which depends on his
sense of an ongoing internal attachment to his loved object.”
Thierry Bokanowski, On Freud's "Mourning and Melancholia"
