I want to read some Freud, where should I start?

>> No.968361

boring.

>> No.968366

I like Totem and Taboo, The Interpretation of Dreams, Beyond the Pleasure Principle, and On Narcissism.

But if you're going to get into Freud proper, you do the whole canon - it's all public domain now.

Otherwise, I'd go secondary; and there are so many of those depending on your ideology it would be hard to recommend.

>> No.968367

The Interpretation of Dreams
Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality

Plain old thirst for knowledge is my primarily ideology so I'll just try some of the books you mentioned, thanks

Just don't expect to learn anything that's still useful today.

Thanks anon. You clearly are the bastion of good intellectual currents and practice!

Well it's not like I'm going to practice psychoanalysis

Eh? Shut up cunt, he's good for historical context, but no one teaches his shit today.

It's like saying that Iliad is irrelevant today. It's called "classic" for reason, works like that aren't measured that way, they're just valuable on their own, no matter how relevant or useful the modern age finds them

You have to trolling. That is the most blatantly untrue statement. Perhaps you mean in psychiatry no one teaches his methods/therapies, which is true but not really the interesting part of Freud. Even in psychology, there are Freudians around still: see psychodynamism.

In the humanities, Freud is the other half of the unholy union (with Marx).

I mean shit, Lacan, Zizek, Deleuze and Guattari, Irigaray, Kristeva, Zupancic, Stravakakis...all of which find lots of circulation in the academy.

my psychology major friend says the fucker is mentioned in EVERY class she takes despite his ideas being outdated shit.

Classic psychoanalysis isn't used nowadays, thought.
It's time consuming and demands a lot from the patient.

Must go to a shit-tier school, then

CBT is much more practical and effective as a treatment than psycho analysis, which is far too laboured and intelluectualised.

That must be the "outdated shit" part, mentioned earlier (and in all Freud threads).

Cognitive behavioural therapy is cheap and adequate in other words. Governments look to bottom lines where mental health is concerned and CBT is there. If you have a bit of money, you're probably better off going for psychotherapy. Anyone with deep-seated problems is.
