Starting to feel overwhelmed by how many messages of support I've had since I came back here 🥲 I'm glad to be back spreading the message that Freud was in fact extremely cool, and that you should never ever write off psychoanalysis as a clinical method

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

"For what sustains all love is precisely this: a certain relationship between two unconscious knowledges."

Jacques Lacan

@LacanInAust @the_mel_jar 😆

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

"If the psychoanalyst thinks he knows something, in psychology for example, then that is already the beginning of his loss, for the simple reason that in psychology nobody knows much, except that psychology is itself an error of perspective on the human being."

Jacques Lacan

Happy Freud Day to those who know 🥳✨

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

@abjectofvenus Oh no - you're literally the only account I look forward to seeing on here. I haven't posted in a while either because I cannot stand the aggro. I hope you feel better soon ❤️‍🩹

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

"While psychoanalysis, is or least pretends to be a science of the subject, psychology is an objective pseudoscience of an object put in place of a subject. This subject disappears in psychology... Psychology involves annihilation of the subject"

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

This is one of the best papers I have read in a while and Lacan really sums up my feelings towards psychology, and how psychoanalysis is a *different discipline to psychology*. "According to Lacan, psychology has nothing to do with science"

[Kali @Kali_de_Armas]

The "Freudian coverup" myth (the idea that Freud discovered widespread abuse of children, and that his mature theories were attempts to bury that truth) is such perfect slander. It's just a flat out lie, complete bullshit, but it confirms everyone's priors so it doesn't matter.

[Lacan sans contexte @Lacan_nocontext]

Psychoanalysis has all the characteristics of subversion and scandal of the Copernican decentering of the world.

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

@katherineveritt The fit👌🏼

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

Some of the best texts ever written by Freud listed here by @yantomr4 This is what I'm looking for here - more engaging conversations about Freud and psychoanalysis

[האלביתי (the freudian yan) @yantomr4]

בלי להתעורר מהחלום ששלושת הספרים הללו מעירים אותך ממנו.

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

@yantomr4 But honestly it's so hard to pick a favourite! 😆

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

@yantomr4 I completely agree with all of your choices - I love so many of Freud's papers it's too hard to pick favourites!! I'm also a big fan of the RatMan and WolfMan case studies 🐺 I always tell people interested in Freud to start with 'The Interpretation of Dreams'

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

@Psy_Lacanian Really interesting - thanks for sharing - I have posted this on my Instagram stories

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

I mean I know this is a meme but it's important to remember that to Freud heterosexuality in women required abandonment of the mother as a love object and layer upon layer of self hatred. Being a lesbian, to Freud, was not pathological

[Edward A. Perin - Psychologist @DoctorPerin]

More Anna Freud memes!

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

Sigmund Freud, 'Studies in Hysteria'

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

What I love about Freud, right from "Studies in Hysteria", is that his interest in helping patients was a serious medical and scientific endeavour - and in the process he discovered that what distresses us most is the normal domain of writers and poets - love, longing, desire

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

"I have not always been a psychotherapist but was trained, like other neuropathologists, to use local diagnosis and electro-prognosis, and I myself still find it strange that the case histories that I write read like novellas and lack, so to speak, the serious stamp of science."
