In this monumental work, Freud rethinks the entire metapsychological underpinnings of psychoanalysis, based on clinical observation. As he states in his preface, these pages touch upon topics that have not yet been the subject of psychoanalytic consideration, and it has been inevitable to engage with theories proposed by non-analysts or former analysts in their retreat from analysis.
Here we witness the result of Freud’s brilliance as a clinician-scientist, leading to a new model of the mind that potentially holds profound implications for psychoanalytic understanding and the psychoanalytic method. What is surprising is how many analysts never integrated Freud’s second model of the mind. In this book, we invited several scholars, now 100 years later, to revisit this important work. The results were interesting, surprising, creative, and at times confusing. Most psychoanalysts will find it intriguing.
