(Eros plays the unruly bastard in Freud's late metapsychol...)
Eros plays the unruly bastard in Freud's late metapsychology and the lead essay in this collection. The author establishes his motif by describing the uncanny coming of Eros and its unwelcome persistence in the writings of Sigmund Freud with particular attention to his two major booksóThe Interpretation of Dreams and Civilization and its Discontents. Offering a continuing invocation to Eros, these essays use literary allusions to encourage disorderly ways of thinking about psychology while teasing the related human needs for security, certainty, and control. The author, a psychologist, makes "patriarchy" his "straight man," and in doing so, often finds "self-mockery" to be the play. Contents: Eros Plays; A One Page Explanatory Summary of "Eros Plays"; Testing the Taste of Spit: A Novel Introduction to Psychology; How Firm a Foundation; PsychoBabel-Man's Quest Goes on...Until it Ends; Androgony.
