We discuss the Freud-Fliess sibling dynamic; a case study of a recently married singer suffering from anxiety that reminds us of “Dora” in multiple ways, including Freud’s interrogation-style approach to her treatment; why Freud’s women patients keep fleeing analysis; the notion of a symptom as fundamentally a structure of compromise; an early discussion of the idea of “defence”; and Freud’s dream about his dead father. Also: Patrick unexpectedly breaks into an aria. Christine cites Juliet Mitchell’s book Fratriarchy: The Sibling Trauma and the Law of the Mother: https://bookshop.org/p/books/fratriarchy-the-sibling-trauma-and-the-law-of-the-mother-juliet-mitchell/18705733Christine’s new book on Chantal Akerman’s La Captive will be out in March, and in the meantime, here is an excerpt (about Akerman and Proust) in The New York Review of Books: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2024/02/08/time-unregained-la-captive-chantal-akerman/Have you noticed that Freud is back?
