Is the Oedipus complex an iatrogenic theory? Book essay on Jerome C. Wakefield, Freud’s Argument for the Oedipus Complex
For almost a century, the fate and identity of psychoanalysis have been inseparable from the theory of the Oedipus complex. However, in these two books, Jerome Wakefield persuasively demonstrates that the Oedipus complex is not a cogent scientific theory but an iatrogenic theory. The Oedipal theory is described as enforcing a new form of regulation and restraint of the affection between mother and son, consistent with the direction in which marit…
J. M. Masson's The assault on truth and the origins of psychoanalysis
The assault on truth by Jeffrey Masson marked out an epoch in the history of the discipline. Yet, its arguments were not given the attention they deserved. In this two-part article I will try to fill this gap. In the first part I will summarize what has changed in these four decades in both society and psychoanalysis. The criticism of the new category of “child sexual abuse” serves as a bridge to the second part, in which I enter into the substan…
Rethinking the birth of psychoanalysis
Did young Freud face the horrors of little girls’ circumcision in pediatric wards? Did Freud refuse to have his sons ritually circumcised? Did Emma Eckstein, Freud’s main female patient in the course of the foundation of psychoanalysis, endure a circumcision when she was a girl? The author discusses these three controversial issues and suggests how they can help to rethink the origins of psychoanalysis. Erasing Emma Eckstein’s circumcision as a t…

The Freud–Ferenczi controversy in light of Emma Eckstein's circumcisio
Emma Eckstein's circumcision trauma has been powerfully suppressed, denied, and dissociated from the history of the origins of psychoanalysis. Even though Freud did not categorize it as a trauma, he was deeply impacted by it in the period when he provided psychoanalysis with his foundation. Despite Freud's intellectual erasure of the trauma that Emma experienced, her “cut” never ceased to unconsciously break through Freud's fantasies and discours…
Le conte du pénis sur le plateau
La méditation sur les origines de la psychanalyse représente une contribution importante de Ferenczi, bien qu'elle n'ait pas bénéficié de la reconnaissance méritée. Dans cet article, l'auteur explore les racines de sa réflexion à partir d'un rêve de Noël 1912 qui met en lumière un processus d'identification à Freud et l'incorporation d'un fantasme de castration réelle. Selon l'auteur, ce dernier se rapporterait au trauma infantile (l'excision) d'…

“So It Really Does Exist—The Sea-Serpent We’ve Never Believed in!” Ferenczi’s Influence on Freud Revisited
Withstanding Trauma
The author considers the medical rationale for Wilhelm Fliess's operation on Emma Eckstein's nose in February 1895 and interprets the possible role that this played in Freud's dream of Irma's injection five months later. The author's main argument is that Emma likely endured female castration as a child and that she therefore experienced the surgery to her nose in 1895 as a retraumatization of her childhood trauma. The author further argues that …
Alors il existe vraiment, le serpent de mer auquel nous n'avons jamais cru
L'auteur met en évidence la manière dont la pensée de Ferenczi a marqué celle de Freud. Dans ses derniers travaux, Ferenczi a montré la nécessité d'explorer le matériel traumatique qui risque de détourner le patient de la réalité et provoquer chez lui clivage et fragmentation. Freud, dans son essai intitulé « Un trouble de mémoire sur l'Acropole », revient sur son voyage à Athènes peu après la fin de son autoanalyse. L'auteur s'interroge sur les …
Freud, Ferenczi, and the “disbelief” on the Acropolis
Ferenczi's 1929 claim that “no analysis can be regarded ... as complete unless we have succeed in penetrating the traumatic material” resonated deeply in Freud, influencing his last works. According to the author, it reactivated in Freud the same traumatic memories that were at the heart of his self-analysis, letting them resurface in the 1936 essay “A disturbance of memory on the Acropolis,” in the striking simile of the Loch Ness monster. The i…
Castration, circoncision et origines de la psychanalyse
L'auteur esquisse et discute l'origine et le déclin de la castration et de la circoncision comme traitement des troubles psychiques et nerveux chez les femmes et les petites filles entre 1875 et 1905. Il considère que l'opposition à cette pratique médicale a eu une influence sur le concept d'hystérie en favorisant la distinction entre sexualité et organes sexuels, et sur l'émergence d'une notion élargie de la sexualité pendant la période allant d…

The relevance of castration and circumcision to the origins of psychoanalysis
In this paper the author outlines and discusses the origins and the decline of castration and circumcision as a cure for the nervous and psychic disturbances in women and little girls between 1875 and 1905. The author argues that the opposition to this medical practice affected the conception of hysteria, promoting a distinction between sexuality and the genital organs, and the emergence of an enlarged notion of sexuality, during the period from …

Flight Into Sanity
In 'The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud', Volume III, Ernest Jones explained Ferenczi's final contributions as the product of a mental deterioration based on a progressive psychosis. Erich Fromm collected various testimonies by witnesses of Ferenczi's last years, all contrasting with Jones's assertions, and challenged Jones's manner of writing history. However, since Fromm was himself a dissident, and his witnesses were pupils, relatives or friend…
“Sexuality and Death” in Freud's Discovery of Sexual Aetiology
The present study focuses on Freud's discovery of sexual aetiology in the period from his studies in Paris and Berlin (1885–86) to self-analysis (1897). The study gives a reassessment of both the link and the break between Freud's early works and the contemporary medical views and splits concerning sexual aetiology, which is relevant for the understanding of Freud's later developments. Freud's initial aversion toward sexual aetiology is investiga…

Jones's Allegation of Ferenczi's Mental Deterioration
In The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud, Volume III, Ernest Jones explained the third wave of dissension as an effect of the progressive mental deterioration of two members of the Committee, who had governed the psychoanalytic movement: Rank and Ferenczi. While in relation to Rank, Jones made a partial recant, in relation to Ferenczi, he did not modify his assertions. Erich Fromm collected various testimonies by witnesses of Ferenczi's last years, …

The Evolution of the Practice of the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapies
When Freud began his professional career, psychotherapy was already an established practice, standing upon the theory of ideogenesis, according to which certain motor symptoms were caused by ideas . This theory offered the rational ground for psychotherapy: if a symptom was provoked by an idea, it was possible to undo it by finding and erasing this very idea. Freud developed this theory into the model of unconscious ideas and into the technique o…
