内容説明

Sigmund Freud's 1891 monograph "On Aphasia" - excluded from the Freud Standard Edition as not sufficiently psychological - is presented here as crucial to an understanding of the origins of psycholanalysis. Valerie D. Greenberg explains how Freud's prescient study represents its time and reaches out to ours, articulating late-19th century disciplinary ferment and anticipating 20th-century neurological discovery. Greenberg intends to create a meeting ground for two strains of inquiry. One has to do with Freud's early neurological writings and his career as a research scientist; the other with the origins of psychoanalysis in late-19th century intellectual culture, particularly in theories of language. Aphasia studies encompass inquiry into language, brain and consciousness, and, ultimately, the entire question of mind-body relations. The study of language disorders which result from brain damage shows the 35-year-old Freud as a bold researcher who encountered in the sources he used, some of the ideas which would eventually evolve into psychoanalysis. This text is intended to fill a gap in the discussions of Freud's early work. With attention to Freud's language, his science and his methods of investigation, Greenberg seeks to show how his thinking linked to an international network of cross-disciplinary researchers united by their fascination with patients whose striking deficits challenged the science of the time.
