Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen Libros
Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen investiga la construcción de "hechos" psíquicos, enfatizando cómo los relatos históricos de trastornos mentales se entrelazan con redefiniciones continuas. Su obra, moldeada por la filosofía postestructuralista francesa, profundiza en la historia y filosofía de la psiquiatría y el psicoanálisis. Borch-Jacobsen es reconocido por sus posturas polémicas dentro de los persistentes debates sobre el psicoanálisis. Su enfoque resalta cómo los contextos históricos y sociales dan forma activamente a los estados psicológicos.
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.
