JWST 51 Freud: Psychoanalysis, Jews, and Gender (in English)

This course will examine how Freud’s own writings, his biography, and his biographers have shaped the perceptions of psychoanalysis as a specifically Jewish theory and practice.  Through reading of Freud’s texts on gender, sexuality, and religion, we will trace the connects between psychoanalysis, Jewishness, and gender that have impacted theoretical discussion.  We will explore critique, including Horney, Reich, and Marcuse, and recent debate on the status of Freud in the U.S.
