Brill, took several years to effect, the process being beset with conceptual, practical, legal, and political obstacles. Anxieties over possible obscenity charges in Britain led to novel forms of censorship being applied to the first edition by its London publisher in 1913, while issues relating to the politics of translation and local British efforts to standardise psychoanalytic nomenclature would bedevil the text over its first two decades. In the context of the launch of the <i>Revised Standard Edition</i> (<i>RSE</i>), the present paper reveals these earlier issues for the first time. Having then considered the book's reception in both Britain and the United States, its sales and varying editions, the paper concludes with a discussion of the covert and contentious reediting of the work's third English edition, published in 1933.

By expanding <i>Nachträglichkeit</i> beyond its traditional application to early childhood experiences, I argue that this concept is equally relevant in a broader array of relational contexts. The second archive I draw from is the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of South Africa. Reflecting on the TRC's public testimony process as a representation of \"breaking with the past\" to imagine a new future provides valuable insights into the transgenerational dynamics shaping contemporary South African society. I return to the TRC archive to focus on a pivotal moment during the opening of the TRC public hearings - a traumatic, iconic scream - to explore how this event's temporal horizons, bridging past and future, can help us comprehend a present in which the past seemingly replays itself.</p>","PeriodicalId":48022,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychoanalysis","volume":"105 5","pages":"766-777"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142689280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is postulated that this view remained in the Freudian model as a private, implicit theory, and was not taken up for many decades in the analytic movement. A re-reading of this text suggests Freud conceived of a psyche that contains registers of early experiences, which would never have been conscious to the patient. These experiences can be known, worked through, and transformed afterwards, by being repeated in action within the frame. The author proposes that \"enactment\" is the royal road for access to the intrasubjective registrations of early intersubjective interaction, which previously he has called <i>psychic gestures</i>. He considers that certain psychic gestures of the analysand become <i>psychic gestures</i> of the analytic couple, which are jointly dramatized within the transference-countertransference field. The pair's constant working through, in order to dis-identify themselves from this relational script of the patient's mind, is the starting point for co-production of something new and hitherto unknown.</p>","PeriodicalId":48022,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychoanalysis","volume":"105 5","pages":"898-917"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142689270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This reflects Freud's struggle with the issue of animality, which he at once repudiates, and simultaneously conceals at the core of human mental life. Freud's use of the terms \"animal\" and \"man\" constantly shifts as he attempts to employ them in key areas of analytic theory building, while also shifting his perspective along the way to consider the opposition, similarity and identity of these terms. This impedes attempts to find structure and coherence in Freud's view, which is almost liquid in its instability. For Freud what separates man from the animal world does not rely upon the evolutionary or anthropological arguments he makes, but on a process of identification and disidentification that consigns animality to \"not-me\" states in support of Oedipal resolution. Ultimately, his attempts to bind and tame human animality via Oedipality cannot contain that which was never separate and could never be separated from the human.</p>","PeriodicalId":48022,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychoanalysis","volume":"105 5","pages":"804-818"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142689273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author views splitting of the ego as a specific dysfunctional cognitive process. He criticises those who maintain that Freud's analysis of the Rat Man's transference behaviour was inadequate. When they do that, his case history is taken out of its historic context. Despite Freud's insufficient analysis of the Rat Man's conflicts with his parents, his mental health was restored.
