Today I am going to talk about a small aspect of the psychoanalyst Freud — the "essayist."
Eric, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering the neural mechanisms of memory storage. Kandel, affectionately recalled, that Freud had had a great influence on him.
Among them, Freud's prose writing is so wonderfully penetrated into the human psyche that Kandel believes that Freud used his story description and analysis to bring modern psychiatry into a new world.
So how did Freud discover human psychological problems in his daily life, from the small details that are often overlooked?
One day, Freud was chatting with a young lady, apparently a talented woman, who occasionally quoted some famous verses in the chat.
But when she spoke of a certain verse, she hesitated.
Later, she was surprised to find that she had made several mistakes.
The lady was upset that she felt that she had a lack of memory, which was intolerable.
However, Freud comforted her, believing that it was not a matter of memory.
Her forgetting is likely to reflect some kind of psychological problem of hers, and this part of her memory has been disturbed and suppressed because of such psychological problems.
Eventually, in a conversation with Freud, the lady recalled twelve years ago, when she was eighteen, that she had fallen in love with a handsome man who studied drama.
The man was so charming, he was hardworking, driven, and very smart. This completely destroyed the eighteen-year-old girl, who insisted on falling in love with the man despite the advice of her friends around her.
The ending is obvious, the girl is deceived.
Freud found the relationship between the trauma of this love affair, and the repressed memory of the lady's verses.
The sadness of the past made her subconsciously suppress memories of "love, faith, and illusion" and so on.
Freud recorded the story in his simple, elegant, humorous, and self-suggestive prose. He won the Goethe Prize in 1930.
Did this small aspect of Freud's role as an "essayist" inspire you?
