On Freud's Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety

by Samuel Arbiser, Jorge Schneider

Published 2013

Arbiser and Schneider's work re-examines Freud's foundational text on anxiety, moving beyond a purely mechanistic view to explore its existential dimensions. They illuminate how Freud's concept of inhibition is deeply intertwined with the individual's confrontation with meaninglessness and finitude, offering a richer understanding of neurotic suffering. This analysis bridges classical psychoanalysis with contemporary existential thought, providing a nuanced perspective on the origins and experience of anxiety.

It argues that individuals possess the power to determine their own lives and find fulfillment not by seeking approval, but by embracing self-acceptance and understanding that all problems stem from interpersonal relationships. Through this lens, the text offers a framework for personal growth and a reevaluation of how we approach our interactions and our pursuit of a meaningful existence.

Rupture of Serenity

Aisha Abbasi

What happens when the outside world enters the psychoanalytic space? In The Rupture of Serenity: External Intrusions and Psychoanalytic Technique, the author draws on clinical material to describe some of the dilemmas she has encountered in her work with patients when external factors have entered the treatment frame. She considers analytic dilemmas that range from how to deal with patients' unusual requests regarding the conduct of an analytic treatment to the question of how to handle events in the analyst's personal life that, by necessity, must be addressed in the analysis. As a Muslim of Pakistani origin, the author is also able to discuss, frankly and with compassion, the role that ethnic and religious differences between patient and analyst can play in treatment-differences that, in the aftermath of 9/11 and the search for and killing of Osama bin Laden, became a palpable presence in her consulting room.
