  • Title: The mind: psychoanalytic understanding then and now.
    Author: Bergmann MS.
    Journal: Psychoanal Q; 2008 Jan; 77(1):139-66. PubMed ID: 18386660.
    Abstract:
    The author discusses the evolution of psychoanalytic understanding from Freud's time to the present, citing the influence of various sociocultural changes. He addresses Freud's proper place in history and notes ways in which Freud's contributions cast him as belonging to Romanticism. Freud's shift from the topographic model of the mind to the structural one, and the influence of this on psychoanalysis, is discussed, as well as important developments in the field since Freud. The author focuses particularly on difficulties encountered in psychoanalytic practice today, and he describes what he has termed organizing interpretations as uniquely valuable in the treatment setting.
