This legend-making used to be no longer an incidental addition to psychoanalytic concept yet shaped its center. Letting the first fabric communicate for itself, this heritage demonstrates the extreme gear in which this would-be technology of psychoanalysis put in itself in modern societies. past psychoanalysis, it opens up the historical past of the structure of the fashionable mental sciences and psychotherapies, how they supplied the tips which we've of ourselves and the way those grew to become solidified into undeniable 'facts'.

Example text
52 Freud spoke of ‘self-analyses’ (in the plural) regarding his interpretation of his dreams, and he utilised the term to designate the ensemble of his work of self-inspection in The Interpretation of Dreams, which demonstrates that he did not understand it in the strict sense of analytic work upon oneself. Freud: Thus it comes about that I am led to my own dreams, which offer a copious and convenient material . . No doubt I shall be met by doubts of the trustworthiness of ‘self-analyses’ of this kind .
Grote for the fourth volume of his Die Medizin der Gegenwart in Selbstdarstellungen [Contemporary Medicine in Autobiography]. Freud: I have already more than once published papers upon the same line as the present one, papers which, from the nature of the subject, have dealt more with personal considerations than is usual or than would otherwise have been necessary . . 14 But why, we may ask, does ‘the nature of the subject’ require such an emphasis on ‘personal considerations’? We have become so used to this autobiographical presentation of psychoanalysis that we no longer notice the oddness of this statement.
Ernest Jones to Marie Bonaparte, 2 July 19541 Why do the current controversies revolve around the history of psychoanalysis and the manner in which it has been written? Why such vehemence on both sides, why a ‘war’? After all, the philosophical, epistemological and political critiques of psychoanalysis never aroused such passion. Psychoanalysis was reproached by Karl Jaspers for mixing up hermeneutic understanding (Verstehen) and the explanation (Erklären) of the natural sciences, by Jean-Paul Sartre for confounding repression and ‘bad faith’, by Ludwig Wittgenstein for confusing causes and reasons, by Karl Popper for avoiding all scientific falsification, by Adolf Grünbaum for proposing an epistemically inconsistent clinical validation and by Michel Foucault for producing sexuality under the cover of unmasking it.
