We will focus on war and genocide, poverty (\u2018the worst form of violence\u2019 according to Mahatma Gandhi), empire and colonialism, and the psychology of Fascism. We will also examine the evolution of the understanding of trauma, from Breuer and Freud\u2019s early formulations to the theories of PTSD of today.<\/p>\n 1st Session<\/strong>: We will explore the question of the nature of \u2018violence\u2019 bringing psychoanalytic ideas together with the philosophical perspectives of Marx, Nietzsche, Zizek, Girard and Levinas.<\/p>\n 2nd Session<\/strong>: We will trace the key developments in Freud\u2019s thinking on violence \u2013 studying in detail the new ideas put forward in \u2018Beyond the Pleasure Principle\u2019 (1920) and \u2018Civilization and its Discontents\u2019 (1930). We will put this together with the evolution of Freud\u2019s ideas on trauma.<\/p>\n 3nd Session<\/strong>: We will examine the way Freud\u2019s ideas were applied and taken forward \u2013 and criticized – by the major figures who followed him, including Wilhelm Reich, Melanie Klein, Erich Fromm and Anthony Storr.<\/p>\n 4th Session<\/strong>: We will explore psychoanalytic thinking on the psychology of Fascism and on the possible integration of Marx and Freud. In this session we will review Herbert Marcuse\u2019s \u2018Eros and Civilization\u2019, the \u2018Anti-Oedipus\u2019 of Deleuze and Guattari.<\/p>\n Keith Barrett BA PhD\u00a0<\/strong>received his first degree in philosophy from Oxford University after having spent three years working as a nursing assistant in psychiatric hospitals. It was in this practical context that Keith first encountered existentialism and psychoanalysis. He then began postgraduate studies on both Freud and Heidegger, leading finally to a PhD from the Wellcome Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL for a dissertation on \u2018Freud\u2019s Self-Analysis\u2019. Keith has been a philosophy teacher for over 20 years, and has been delivering courses at the Freud Museum for over a decade, where he has developed a series of introductory lectures on Freud, psychoanalysis after Freud, and the overlap of philosophy and psychoanalysis.<\/span><\/p>\n
