2 instructional hours per week, 32 hours in total
Week 1: The Origins of Psychoanalysis
This class will cover Freud’s early years up to his decision to enter private practice as a specialist in nervous disorders
and will focus on the scientific influences that shaped his training.
Week 2: Crisis and Breakthrough
This class will explore Freud’s earliest cases studies and his seminal self-analysis, leading up to the breakthrough
discovery of the meaningfulness of dreams.
Week 3: The Discovery of Dreams
This class will focus on the foundational Interpretation of Dreams and will connect that work to Freud’s roughly
contemporaneous writings on jokes and everyday behaviors.
Week 4: Inventing Sexuality
3
The focus of this class is Freud’s development of a revolutionary theory of human sexuality that broke fundamentally with
the existing paradigms.
Week 5: The Historical Matrix of Psychoanalysis
This class will be devoted to placing the period of Freud’s foundational discoveries in their social, political, and cultural
context, focusing on the crises of liberalism and bourgeois society at the fin-de-siècle.
Week 6: Models of the Mind
This class will look at the Freudian theory of the Oedipus complex as a model for understanding both individual
psychosexual development and the patterns of culture.
Week 7: Practicing Psychoanalysis
In this class, we will explore psychoanalysis as a therapeutic practice in order to demonstrate how its pivotal ideas and
concepts grew out of clinical work with patients.
Week 8: War and Revolution
The focus of this class is the seismic impact of the Great War on psychoanalysis as a profession and a body of thought.
Week 9: Freud’s Second System
This week will look at the development of Freud’s second, structural or topographical, model of mind, and the new
theories that transformed psychoanalytic metapsychology in the wake of the war.
Week 10: Psychoanalysis and Feminism
In this week, we will look at the engagement of psychoanalysis with feminism, Freud’s ideas about female sexuality, and
the contributions of women psychoanalysts to the development of Freudian thought.
Week 11: Psychoanalysis and Socialism
This class will focus on the Freudian Left and the attempts of psychoanalysts to adapt Freud’s thought to radical
programs of social and political transformation.
Week 12: Ego Psychology and Object Relations
This class will look at the two most important currents of psychoanalytic thought to emerge between the First and
Second wars, and will trace their development from that period through their confrontations in London during the Second
World War.
Week 13: Cold War Freud
This class will focus on psychoanalysis in the 1940s through the 1960s, with particular interest in the subject of the
Americanization of psychoanalysis.
Week 14: The French Freud
This class will look at the reception of psychoanalysis in France in the wake of the Second World War through the 1960s,
with particular interest in the emergence of a specifically French Freudianism.
Week 15: Global Psychoanalysis
In this class, we will look at the global diffusion of Freudian ideas and the processes of reception and modification that
this entailed.
Week 16: Freud in China
In the last class we will look at psychoanalysis today, in particular as it has emerged in China during the period of
Reform and Opening.
