Moran, a psychoanalyst in Australia, offers a new reading of Freud that addresses the concern that his ideas and methods are out of date. She stresses that Freud was a practioner and not a scientist, and that our main inheritance from him is his notion of human subjectivity in distinction from the objective notion of the human supporting other human sciences. She revisits Freud's concept of a split-psyche, the ateiology and mechanisms of neuroses, and explains his tripartite theory of practice--theoretical premises, technique and aim. She considers Paul Verhaeghe's project as a direct Freudian inheritance and offers a reading of Marie Cardinal's The Words to Say It to clarify the idea of human subjectivity. -- (12/01/2011)
