Friday Night Papers: February 7 6-8pm: IPTAR, Conference Room
Freud’s hysteria and psychic architecture: démodé or still relevant today? Then and now, hysterical features and its diagnosis have shifted, from the unearthing of primal Oedipal conflict to include contemporary thinking of defense, denial of psychic reality and coping with unbearable primitive anxieties. Clinical vignettes of ‘then and now’ case material will be presented.
This panel examines Freud’s formulation of feminine identifications in hysteria, from its inception in Charcot’s Salpêtrière in the late 18th Century to today’s clinical practice. We argue that Freud’s infamous question “What does a woman want?” calls for different answers, that include the Oedipal configuration of Freud and early maternal Oedipus ituation of Klein, as well as the internal object world comprising the complicated pathway to integration of internal objects and the ultimate adoption of a feminine identification.
Susan Finkelstein’s “Creative Intercourse and the Missing Mother’s Body: Hysteria in Bonaparte and Freud” turns to one of the most intimate relationships in the history of psychoanalysis: Freud and Marie Bonaparte.
