35: Standard Edition Volume 1 Part 5: Fragments, Paranoia, and Projection: The Fliess Extracts, Continued feat. Christine Smallwood Teaser

In the latest installment of the Standard Edition, Abby continues the conversation about the Fliess Extracts section of SE Volume 1 with novelist and literary critic Christine Smallwood. We discuss fragments, continuity and discontinuity, and narrative and lack thereof; the first instances of the use of the terms libido and projection and what they mean at this point; the relationship between anxiety and melancholia; a fascinating diagram Freud terms a “schematic picture of sexuality”; and a case study about a paranoiac young woman. 

The essay from which the opening anecdote is drawn is “Freud’s Friend, Fliess,” by John Riddington Young. History of Otorhinolaryngology 2016;2: 107-121
