Of modern mediums and susceptible psychologists, and of things we do not know
Research into psychical phenomena such as telepathy and spiritualism in the 19 th century was so much hampered by fraudulent mediumship that researchers and the subjects found themselves caught up in what Watzlawick called a ‘pragmatic paradox’, i.e. the only way for a researcher to prove that their medium was ‘real’ consisted in trying to expose them as ‘fakes’. This had consequences for the epistemic claims both parties could make. By the early…

Les types de marginalisation dans leur relation constitutive au discours
L?article vise à démontrer que la marginalité n?est paradoxalement pas un phénomène marginal : elle est au c?ur de toutes les activités scientifiques. Cette hypothèse est vérifiée en référence à la psychanalyse, et dans ce cadre, au cas de Wilhelm Stekel. L?un des premiers disciples de Freud, Stekel fut aussi un des premiers à tomber en disgrâce auprès du maître. Il est chassé du mouvement psychanalytique en 1912. En dépit de ses tentatives il ne…
Acts of betrayal. Reading the letters of Wilhelm Stekel to Sigmund Freud
This paper presents a discussion of the previously unpublished correspondence between Stekel and Freud. The authors start with a brief overview of most important historic events and facts that constitute the context against which these letters should be read. The matters cover questions of publishing policy, personal priorities, and psychoanalytic principles. The authors suggest that the Stekel letters may have been preserved by Freud as evidence…
The Self-Marginalization of Wilhelm Stekel: Freudian Circles Inside and Out (Path in Psychology)
As both an early disciple of and influence on Freud, Wilhelm Stekel enjoyed a unique position within the analytic movement. More recently, he has been notable more for his ostracism from Freud's sphere and little else. This Self-Marginalization of Wilhelm Stekel brings a fresh perspective on Stekel, revealing the complex, symbiotic bond between mentor and follower in its many social, interpersonal, and psychological forms."--BOOK JACKET
Strategic self-marginalization: The case of psychoanalysis
Marginality is an important concept in the history of science, though it is often used in a manner that presumes marginality to be a static designation. We contend that the dynamics of marginality are crucial to the history of psychoanalysis, a discipline that has moved between dominant and marginal positions. We address psychoanalytic marginality via three specific "cases": the marginalization among Freud and his followers when psychoanalysis wa…
The art of imitation: Wilhelm Stekel's Lehrjahre
In the early history of psychoanalysis, the work of Wilhelm Stekel (1868-1940) was by and large neglected, even though he wrote a considerable number of psychoanalytic studies, some of which should be considered to have had a major influence on Freud's early thought. Freud, in turn, had much greater influence on Stekel than is commonly believed. In this article, the authors aim to uncover some of these mutual influences, in particular in the fiel…
A Silent Antipode: The Making and Breaking of Psychoanalyst Wilhelm Stekel
Wilhelm Stekel, one of Freud's earliest followers , was expelled from the psychoanalytic movement in 1912 ostensibly because he did not know how to behave himself. Although he remained active as a psychoanalyst, his post-1912 work was mostly neglected, and consequently his historic import is seriously undervalued. The author reviews recent literature, reexamines the Freud-Stekel break, and focuses on Stekel's role as silent antipode. Freud's refe…
In the margins of scientific dialogue: Evart Van Dieren contra psychoanalysis
Evart Van Dieren (1861-1940), a Dutch general practitioner who had a passionate aversion against psychoanalysis, wrote two particularly polemical books contra Freud but nevertheless did not succeed in generating much response. In this paper, some of his objections against psychoanalysis are briefly examined and compared with some present day arguments against Freud by Grünbaum and Crews, with the purpose of finding an answer to the question: What…
Shared Life Narratives in the Work of Lou Andreas-Salome
The author presents a re-reading of the works of Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861-1937), one of the key figures in the early history of psychoanalysis. He focusses in particular on her biographical and autobiographical works, as well as her correspondences with Freud, Rilke and other influential people of her time, arguing that Andreas-Salomé disappears from her own works as an autonomous speaking subject, while reappearing in the works of others as a si…
