The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis by Otto Fenichel Pdf
The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis, Fenichel's classic text, summarized the first half century of psychoanalytic investigation into psychopathology and presented a general psychoanalytic theory of neurosis. When Otto Fenichel died, Anna Freud mourned the loss of 'his inexhaustible knowledge of psychoanalysis and his inimitable way of organizing and presenting his facts'. These qualities shine through The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis which has been a standard reference for generations of psychoanalysts. For this anniversary edition, Leo Rangell has written an introduction that sets Fenichel's work in context. He sees Fenichel as a worthy heir to Freud; both men influenced their followers by what Rangell calls 'the charisma of ideas'. In his epilogue, Rangell describes the fate of Fenichel's ideas and of this book as 'a barometer of the place of psychoanalysis ... within the external intellectual world and, even more significantly, of the trends and shifting winds of opinion within the psychoanalytic field itself'. He traces those trends through the turbulent controversies of the field, concluding that Fenichel's observations are as fresh and relevant today as they were fifty years ago.

She unfolds the different stages of this situation, describing neurotic claims, the tyranny or inner dictates and the neurotic's solutions for relieving the tensions of conflict in such emotional attitudes as domination, self-effacement, dependency, or resignation. Throughout, she outlines with penetrating insight the forces that work for and against the person's realization of his or her potentialities. First Published in 1950. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
This is Volume XVII of twenty-eight in series on Psychoanalysis. Originally published in 1946, this is a study of the constructive theory of neurosis with the aim of improving psychoanalysis’s theory and therapy.
Childhood Experience and Personal Destiny by William V. Silverberg Pdf
"This account of the genesis of personality and neurosis represents a return to the crossroads at which Freud found himself when faced with the collapse of his traumatic theory of the etiology of neurosis: a return and affirmation that Freud was sound in his first intuition that neurosis emerges from traumatic childhood experience and its specific details. But Silverberg rejects as too narrow Freud's definition--that this traumatic experience is sexual seduction by an adult--and gives in this book a broader, more comprehensive definition of childhood experience and a new working hypothesis for psychotherapy. Strength and weakness of the ego are regarded by Silverberg as roughly equivalent to mental health and mental illness respectively. He is concerned with the kind of childhood experience that favors growth or diminution of this ego strength. He stresses the ego's functions and its mode of operation as well as interpersonal relationships and environmental factors of childhood experience. Specifically, the book is about the child growing up in our culture. The experiences of early life are discussed as children usually have them in the process of being brought up by parents of our culture. Although these successive areas of individual experience have not the universal and biologic significance which Freud ascribed to the genesis of libido, they parallel, more or less, the Freudian phases. Problems of deprivation in the oral area are followed by those of obedience, conformity, rebelliousness in the disciplinary area (Freud's anal phase) and by problems of comparison, competition, and genitality in the phallic area. For each area the author investigates the typical adaptations to the difficulties encountered by the child. He offers many keenly observed examples of solutions that are "normal" as well as pathologic in our culture. He brings out the vast difference and conflict between adaptations that are biologically successful or culturally successful. He shows that all experience of childhood involves parental love and approval, and that the child is as much concerned with maintaining these as with reaching pleasure goals. Since psychopathologic patterns are the result of experiences in the life history of the child and are therefore acquired, new experience can result in new and different psychologic patterns. A person can break his formed patterns of behavior by a process that leads to new self-understanding and from there to new adaptation. In this possibility lie the problem, the task, and the hope of psychotherapy"--Jacket. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved)

First Published in 1999. Psychoanalysis first developed as a method of therapy in the strict medical sense. Freud had discovered that certain circumscribed disorders that have no discernible organic basis-such as hysterical convulsions, phobias, depressions, drug addictions, functional stomach upsets --can be cured by uncovering the unconscious factors that underlie them. In the course of time disturbances of this kind were summarily called neurotic. Therefore humility as well as hope is required in any discussion of the possibility of psychoanalytic self-examination. It is the object of this book to raise this question seriously, with all due consideration for the difficulties involved.

In this book, originally published in 1963, Dr Fine sets out to describe what Freud said, and to re-evaluate his views critically in the light of the best knowledge of the time. Freud’s numerous changes of view, his constant searching for the truth wherever it might lead him, as well as his resolute adherence to certain hard-won positions once he had achieved them, are all skilfully traced. Freud’s intellectual Odyssey is divided into four periods. From 1886 to 1895 he was a neurologist investigating hysteria and other ‘nervous’ disorders. Then came his self-analysis, from 1896 to 1899, the real matrix from which psycho-analysis grew. The first psycho-analytic system of psychology was developed in the period from 1900 to 1914. The remainder of his life, from 1914 to 1939, was devoted to the elaboration of ego psychology, and heart of contemporary psycho-analysis. Dr Fine undertook, in writing this book, the formidable task of examining the whole body of Freud’s thought, to clarify what he said, and to review his ideas critically in the light of the best available existing knowledge. As he says ‘In this process of criticism I have tried to specify which aspects of Freud have stood the test of time and which have not.’ ‘So far as I can see no one has ever before taken the trouble to ask: "What did Freud actually say? How does what Freud said stand up in terms of what we now know?"’ In answering these questions, Dr Fine develops a major thesis that all modern psycho-analysis derives from Freud, though it has moved far in many different directions. The contention is that emphasis on schools is misleading and has obscured the actual historical growth of the science. As he states in his Preface to this volume, Dr Fine’s conviction is: ‘By building on Freud’s fundamental insights, we can move on most readily to empirical research and thus construct a more satisfactory science of psychology.’
