The Psychoanalytic Work of Hansi Kennedy: From War Nurseries to the Anna Freud Centre (1940-1993)

The Psychoanalytic Work of Hansi Kennedy: From War Nurseries to the Anna Freud Centre (1940-1993) Review

An accurate reflection of the work of Hansi Kennedy requires the placement of her writing in the context of a life lived in the relatively early days of the development of child psychoanalysis. As a witness to and participant in the work of Anna Freud, Kennedy’s own perceptions of her early professional life include the pivotal period of the migration of psychoanalysis from Vienna to London. Her role in the Hampstead War Nurseries and later in the Hampstead Child Therapy Course and Clinic included much of significance in the evolution of psychoanalytic thought regarding children and their psychological development.

Kennedy’s thinking was clear, disciplined and sophisticated, with a depth that demonstrated her understanding of development and of the mind of the child. Unburdened by concerns of what was and was not analysis, and whether child analysis was equivalent to adult analysis, she followed the children, first in the War Nurseries, then in the Hampstead Nursery School and the children she and others analyzed at the Hampstead Clinic, later the Anna Freud Centre.

With Kennedy’s death in 2003 a chapter in child psychoanalysis closed. This book is an attempt to honor her memory and to share her ideas.

What People Call Pessimism: Sigmund Freud, Arthur Schnitzler and Nineteenth-Century Controversy at the University of Vienna Medical School. (Studies in Austrian Literature, Culture, and Thought)

What People Call Pessimism: Sigmund Freud, Arthur Schnitzler and Nineteenth-Century Controversy at the University of Vienna Medical School. (Studies in Austrian Literature, Culture, and Thought) Review

'The Ideas were in the air' is an oft-heard expression, particularly when there is a striking intersection of ideas as was the case in the works of Freud and Schnitzler. Luprecht establishes the University of Vienna Medical School as a significant source of these thinkers' shared intellectual views, Many of Freud's scientific concepts have already been traced to his medical education. But this book makes a convincing case for crediting the University of Vienna Medical School with a far deeper and more extensive influence on Freud and Schnitzler than has previously been recognized.

Viennese Jewish Modernism: Freud, Hofmannsthal, Beer-Hofmann, and Schnitzler (Refiguring Modernism)

Viennese Jewish Modernism: Freud, Hofmannsthal, Beer-Hofmann, and Schnitzler (Refiguring Modernism) Review

In Viennese Jewish Modernism, Abigail Gillman challenges the conventional understanding of modernism as simply a break from tradition. Until recently, the study of Jewish modernism has centered on questions of Jewish and non-Jewish identity, generally ignoring the role Judaism played in the formulation of European modernism as a whole. By focusing on the works of major Viennese authors and thinkers--Freud, Hofmannsthal, Beer-Hofmann, and Schnitzler--both within and outside the contexts of Jewish identity, Abigail Gillman provides a profound new perspective on modernism. Viennese Jewish Modernism draws together three central turn-of-the-century cultural phenomena: the breakdown of traditional modes of transmitting the past to the present; the unprecedented Jewish contribution to Viennese culture as a whole; and the development of a specifically Jewish modernism in Europe. Through her consideration of the larger questions of memorialism and memory, the construction of history and identity, and the nature of modernism, Gillman demonstrates that modernism is powerfully drawn to the past and actively engaged with tradition.

In 1915 at the University of Vienna 60-year-old Sigmund Freud delivered these lectures on psychoanalysis, pointing to the interplay of unconscious and conscious forces within individual psyches.

In reasoned progression he outlined core psychoanalytic concepts, such as repression, free association and libido. Of the various English translations of Freud's major works to appear in his lifetime, only one was authorized by Freud himself: The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud under the general editorship of James Strachey. Freud approved the overall editorial plan, specific renderings of key words and phrases, and the addition of valuable notes, from bibliographical and explanatory. Many of the translations were done by Strachey himself; the rest were prepared under his supervision. The result was to place the Standard Edition in a position of unquestioned supremacy over all other existing versions. Newly designed in a uniform format, each new paperback in the Standard Edition opens with a biographical essay on Freud's life and work —along with a note on the individual volume—by Peter Gay, Sterling Professor of History at Yale.
