El presente trabajo aborda las vicisitudes de las nuevas subjetividades producidas por el neoliberalismo. Una breve semblanza del texto “El malestar en la cultura”, de Sigmund Freud, sirve de punta de lanza para hacer un abordaje crítico del impacto del neoliberalismo en la subjetividad, situación que ha llevado a un cambio dramático en la forma de asumirse del individuo respecto a sí mismo y con el lazo social. Asimismo, los mandatos neoliberales que dictan al ser humano mantenerse en una suerte de exceso, llevan a este último a un nuevo malestar que desemboca en afecciones psíquicas importantes.

Summary: Older adults consistently have the highest rates of suicide in most societies. Despite the paucity of studies until recently, research has shown that suicides in later life are best understood as a multidimensional event. An especially neglected area of research is the psychological/psychiatric study of personality factors in the event. This paper outlines one comprehensive model of suicide and then raises the question: Is such a psychiatric/psychological theory applicable to all suicides in the elderly? To address the question, I discuss the case of Sigmund Freud; raise the topic of suicide and/or dignified death in the terminally ill; and examine suicide notes of the both terminally ill and nonterminally ill elderly. I conclude that, indeed, greater study and theory building are needed into the “suicides” of the elderly, including those who are terminally ill.

ZusammenfassungViele Historiker meinen, die Psychotherapie sei von Sigmund Freud erfunden worden, wieder andere glauben, die Psychotherapie habe um 1800 begonnen. Das eine ist so wenig zutreffend wie das andere. Die Psychotherapie ist ab 1700 unmittelbar mit dem Beginn der Aufklärung in Deutschland entstanden, als Georg Ernst Stahl 1695 als erster eine Theorie darüber veröffentliche, wie Körper und Psyche aufeinander wirken. Die Psychotherapie besteht nun bereits in ihrem 4. Jahrhundert und findet in Deutschland allgemeine Anerkennung. Im Folgenden soll nun ihr erstes Jahrhundert näher beleuchtet werden. Es ist die Phase der Entstehung der Psychotherapie bis hin zur Prägung ihres Namens zu Beginn 1800. Ihre Entwicklung, ihre Lehre und ihre Techniken und Anwendung werden hier im Einzelnen dargestellt.

Freud, sex, and the soul: does Freud’s focus on sex obscure his relevance to the twenty-first century soul-searcher?

This article explores what the work of Sigmund Freud has to offer those searching for a more spiritual and philosophical exploration of the human experience. At the early stages of my psychotherapy training, I shared with many peers an aversion to Freud’s work, driven by a perception of a mechanistic, clinical approach to the human psyche and of a persistent psychosexual focus. This article traces my own attempt to grapple with his work and to push through this resistance. Bettelheim’s (1991) treatise that Freud was searching for man’s soul provides a more sympathetic lens through which to explore Freud’s writing, one which enabled me to discover a rich depth which had not previously been obscured. This article is an account of my journey to a new appreciation of Freud’s work. It identifies a number of challenges to Bettelheim’s argument, whilst also indicating how his revised translation allowed a new understanding of the relevance of Freud’s work to the modern reader. This account may be of interest to those exploring classical psychotherapeutic literature as well as those guiding them through that process.

What’s so funny about melancholy? Iconic as Hamlet is, Shakespearean comedy showcases an extraordinary reliance on melancholy that ultimately reminds us of the porous demarcation between laughter and sorrow. This richly contextualized study of Shakespeare’s comic engagement with sadness contends that the playwright rethinks melancholy through comic theatre and, conversely, re-theorizes comedy through melancholy. In fashioning his own comic interpretation of the humour, Shakespeare distils an impressive array of philosophical discourses on the matter, from Aristotle to Robert Burton, and as a result, transforms the theoretical afterlife of both notions. The book suggests that the deceptively potent sorrow at the core of plays such as The Comedy of Errors, Twelfth Night, or The Winter’s Tale influences modern accounts of melancholia elaborated by Sigmund Freud, Judith Butler, and others. What’s so funny about melancholy in Shakespearean comedy? It might just be its reminder that, behind roaring laughter, one inevitably finds the subtle pangs of melancholy.

The Way

This article addresses the increasingly popular approach to Freud and his work which sees him primarily as a literary writer rather than a psychologist, and takes this as the context for an examination of Joyce Crick's recent translation of The Interpretation of Dreams. It claims that translation lies at the heart of psychoanalysis, and that the many interlocking and overlapping implications of the word need to be granted a greater degree of complexity. Those who argue that Freud is really a creative writer are themselves doing a work of translation, and one which fails to pay sufficiently careful attention to the role of translation in writing itself (including the notion of repression itself as a failure to translate). Lesley Chamberlain's The Secret Artist: A Close Reading of Sigmund Freud is taken as an example of the way Freud gets translated into a novelist or an artist, and her claims for his ‘bizarre poems' are criticized. The rest of the article looks closely at Crick's new translation and its claim to be restoring Freud the stylist, an ordinary language Freud, to the English reader. The experience of reading Crick's translation is compared with that of reading Strachey's, rather to the latter's advantage.
