Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen Livres
Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen explore la construction des "faits" psychiques, soulignant comment les récits historiques des troubles mentaux s'entremêlent à des redéfinitions continues. Son œuvre, façonnée par la philosophie post-structuraliste française, explore en profondeur l'histoire et la philosophie de la psychiatrie et de la psychanalyse. Borch-Jacobsen est reconnu pour ses positions polémiques au sein des débats persistants autour de la psychanalyse. Son approche met en lumière la manière dont les contextes historiques et sociaux façonnent activement les états psychologiques.
Freud's Thinking
An Introduction
In this brief but comprehensive introduction to Freud's theories, Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen provides a step-by-step overview of his ideas regarding the unconscious, the cure, sexuality, drives, and culture, highlighting their indebtedness to contemporary neurophysiological and biological assumptions. The picture of Freud that emerges is very different from that of the fact-finding scientist he claimed to be. Bold conceptual innovations - repression, infantile sexuality, the Oedipus complex, narcissism, the death drive - were not discoveries made by Freud, but speculative constructs placed on clinical material to satisfy the requirements of the general theory of the mind and culture that he was building. Freud's Thinking provides a final accounting of this mirage of the mind that was psychoanalysis.
