Psychotherapy Without Psychologism. Inner Circle Seminar 52 (9 September 2001)

Psychotherapy Without Psychologism

Sigmund Freud

An ethical, existential, phenomenological search for truth in psychotherapy

100 years after Freud’s The Psychopathology of Everyday Life and Husserl’s critique of psychologism in Logical Investigations

Anthony Stadlen
conducts
Inner Circle Seminar No. 52
Sunday 9 September 2001
10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Edmund Husserl

This academic year’s ten seminars will explore the practical implications for psychotherapists of Husserl’s critique of psychologism (in his Logical Investigations of 1900-1). He wrote of ‘our psychologically obsessed age’. He had seen nothing yet! In the hundred years since, psychologism has debauched ethics, philosophy, law, religion, literary criticism — and psychotherapy itself.

In the first seminar, we investigate psychologism, and how to practise psychotherapy without it. Nothing is more urgent for ‘continued professional development’.
