Human Nature through Freudian Lenses. A Reading of Ordinary People (Robert Redford, 1980)

"The article highlights the Freudian approach applied in depicting the events ensuing in a family after a tragic accident – and the related psychoanalysis case, determined by a case of traumatic neurosis – as illustrated in Robert Redford’s movie Ordinary People. The elder son in the family dies in a boat accident, while his brother survives, unable to save him. Ridden with unconscious guilt, the brother tries to commit suicide. Later, he eventually starts an analysis that will bring to the surface his interpretation of the accident, unknown to himself, as the actual traumatic event. The emphasis is placed on a suggestion-free direction of the cure, as promoted by both Freud and Lacan, where the analyzand finds his own words and brings the trauma to memory, moving from a traumatic and compulsory reliving in the present to a remembering of something in the past which liberates the present. Keywords: traumatic neurosis, Freudian analysis, Jacques Lacan, direction of the cure, suggestion, variable-length session. "

Prof. Ad. Strümpell: Ueber die Untersuchung, Beurtheilung und Behandlung von Unfallkranken. München, 1896

The main provisions of the author concerning the issue of illnesses due to accidents are formulated by him in the following way:1) The name "traumatic neurosis" in the sense, in which it has been used so far, should in no case serve to designate a certain, special illness. The baptized name "traumatic neuroses" sick states are related to hypochondria, neurasthenia, hysteria, litigation and others to the same category. These are psychogenic illnesses, in which the trauma itself does not play any role.

The story of a real man: “The Drummer’s Fate” by Arkady Gaidar

Gaidar’s military career was considered as incredibly successful in Soviet times. However, it is obvious that Gaidar did not stand the test of war. That is why, on the eve of the coming big war, the writer Gaidar set himself the task of becoming the tutor of future soldiers. It was a challenging task to accomplish. Gaidar could not be unaware that the fathers of many children, whom he was going to train the “Strong Red Guard,” were unjustly condemned during the years of the Stalinist repressions. The tragedy of the situation was aggravated by the splitting consciousness of the Soviet man, condemned to be both the executioner and the victim at the same time. It is impossible to cope with an external enemy unless one first defeats the internal enemy. Of course, enemies carefully disguise themselves, but this is not the main difficulty in fighting them. Gaidar’s artistic world is based on the bizarre dialectic of good and evil. There are often strange similarities between his positive heroes and antiheroes. To a certain extent, the old gangster Yakov is a double of the main character of the story Sergei Shcherbachev. Moreover, Sergey suffers from a clear personality splitting. By the end of the story, his dissociative identity disorder develops essentially pathological forms. Only in the final of the story does the hero overcome his duality. He is undoubtedly ready for the big war. Sergei Shcherbachev is sure not to have a traumatic neurosis, like Arkady Gaidar.

The Third Step in Drive Theory: On the genesis of Beyond the Pleasure Principle

The author compares the two manuscript versions of Beyond the Pleasure Principle, composed in April/May 1919 and by August 1920 respectively, with each other and with the printed editions. In the first version the idea that all drives are urging to death is already present; however the term ‘death drive’ is not. Here, Freud attempted to take account of the clinical observation that in traumatic neurosis unpleasurable experiences are repeated and that there is a kind of compulsive repetition that is inaccessible to analysis. On the other hand he extended his perspective far into biology. Already in the first version Freud withdrew the notion that all drives urge to death, restricting this urge to self-preservative drives. The second manuscript version of BPP represents a further stage of reflection – primarily in the sixth chapter that was inserted into the older text. The author highlights that Freud now gave up the idea of the first version that self-preservative drives are urging to death and ascribed this urge to a special group of drives: the ‘death drives’. As their counterpart only at this point did he introduce Eros, which encompassed both the sexual and the self-preservative drives. The concept of Eros enabled him to come to terms with phenomena of union, whether at the level of cells, organisms or human beings, including sexual reproduction, which had resisted accommodation to his notion of autoerotic infantile sexuality. It is a main finding of this paper that the process of theoretical reflection, leading to several changes of concept, is reflected in the printed text as we know it.
