At the end of the 19th century, Dr. Sigmund Freud, a Jewish Viennese neurologist, developed a new technique for treating mental illness: Psychoanalysis. This theory challenged the contemporary intellectual environment by suggesting that there are irrational motivations that underlie human behavior. Freud felt that such a revolutionary perspective on human behavior could only have been developed by an "objective" outsider such as a Jew (civilization's historical outsider). This course will explore the relationship between Freud, Psychoanalysis, and Judaism. Readings will come from original source material and recently published contemporary critical analyses. A familiarity with psychoanalytic theory is recommended.
