Freud, Moses, and the Holocaust
What is the connection between the Jewish zeitgeist and the development of psychoanalysis? Is the idea of the "unknown" central to both the Jewish faith and Freud's exploration of the unconscious?
Join BZBI for the First Annual Lecture in Jewish Thought and Psychoanalysis, an exploration of the interface between the psychological understanding of the mind and the Jewish way of thinking. Noted scholar, Professor Eli Zaretsky, will guide us through a fascinating part of our past and present in this new lecture series devoted to the cultural, historic, and conceptual interfaces between Jewish and Psychoanalytic thinking.
Eli Zaretsky is the author of Capitalism, the Family and Personal Life (1986); Secrets of the Soul: A Social and Cultural History of Psychoanalysis (2005): Why America Needs a Left: An Historical Argument (2012) and The Freudian Century (in press.)
Further information about the lecture, including an interview with Professor Zaretsky, is available at www.JewishThoughtandPsychoanalysis.com.
