The Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute invites you to join us for day two of a two-day (Hybrid) event featuring Dr. Mark Solms & Dr. Lois Oppenheim: The most commonly referenced translations of Freud’s works, Strachey’s translations, have been severely criticized over the years. This includes the claim that Freud’s intended meanings have been grossly distorted. Strachey is said to have medicalized psychoanalysis by imposing a spurious scientific consistency on Freud’s sprawling works, while also concocting an awkward pretentious vocabulary. Along with these poor translations, there have been 40 unpublished papers by Freud that the learners will have never seen before. This has left gaps in the learner’s understanding of Freud as a humanist that have never before been taught to them or available until now.

Learners’ will increase their awareness of the challenges Professor Solms faced when translating Freud. Since the practice of psychoanalysis is grounded fundamentally in Freud’s theories, a better understanding of these theories will have multiple implications for how participants practice psychoanalysis clinically.
