Ferenczi Dialogues : On Trauma and Catastrophe Paperback / softback
by Raluca Soreanu, Jakob Staberg, Jenny Willner
Part of the Figures of the Unconscious series
Paperback / softback
Description
Ferenczi Dialogues presents the contribution of Sandor Ferenczi to a psychoanalytic theory of trauma and discusses the philosophical, political and clinical implications of Ferenczi's thinking.
To a far greater extent than Freud, Sandor Ferenczi centered his psychoanalytic thought around trauma. Ferenczi's work pluralizes the notion of catastrophe, as being both destructive and a turning point.
This book addresses Ferenczi's work in terms of thinking in times of crises, by considering contemporary situations in constellation with various scenes from the past: the outbreak of the First World War, the crisis of psychoanalysis as an institution, the disastrous final encounter between Ferenczi and Freud, the rise of Fascism and National Socialism, and the impending exile of the founding members of the psychoanalytic movement.
Against this backdrop, the authors show how Ferenczi's late work outlines a new metapsychology of fragments.
Ferenczi Dialogues situates the legacy of Ferenczi within the broad interdisciplinary landscape of the social sciences, literary theory, psychoanalytic theory, and clinical practice, and highlights Ferenczi's relevance for contemporary philosophical discussions in poststructuralism, feminism and new materialism.
