That´s how I digress from preparing my exams

"Music expresses what can´t be said and can´t be kept silent"
- Victor Hugo, dude who looked like middle-age Freud would look like when he´s old but Freud actually looked different when he was old.




P.S. But so far so good: I´m already working for 8 hours (including breaks every hour) and I nearly finished two big topics (of eight only in this current subject - there will be four more subjects and another 13 days)!!

Today the man is what he has

Of course when you´re busying yourself with Freud and Psychoanalysis you can´t miss Erich Fromm.
Here´s just a docu about him to begin with...to my mind.

Schomofo!

Ok, let´s start by adopting some of my OT comments from nobrain to bring my input to this blog.

Freud, yes Sigmund Freud, the old Schlomo! You guys really need to check out some freud stuff.

Sorry, I´m too lazy for the moment to quote or link some stuff. Feel free to google stuff up. Maybe I will update something.

*Update: Ok, now I´ve found not just a decent but a great course about Freuds psychoanalatic views at Yale! It´s funny, vivid and didactical superb worked up IMHO! Have fun!

*Update: If you can comprehend this great summary you´ll know what Freuds psychoanalysis is all about:

"The idea of man in psychoanalysis and its perception of the origin of psychogenic diseases:
Freud argued that the human soul in its complex variety of functions aimed at balancing different and sometimes even conflicting emotional motives. Freud believed that psychogenic disorders were statements of mental conflicts that the psyche could not balance in a normal way.
When emotional conflicts, that can´t be balanced by the soul, only occur for a short time, so-called 'blunders in everyday behavior' can emerge.
In cases of solidified intrapsychic tensions certain parts of the personality have become incompatible with other. Psychogenic disorders are considered by Freud as a form of failed self-heeling attempts of the mind to reduce unbearable tension states. In this regard typical actions of the soul can be the lack of realizing and making aware of certain ideas or emotions (for example, using the repression) in connection with the execution of certain tension lowering replacement activities (e.g. in the form of avoidance/inhibitions and compulsions)."
