The Uncanny

“The uncanny is that class of the frightening which leads back
to what is known of old and long familiar” (Sigmund Freud, 1919).
How is it possible, and under what circumstances, for something that was once familiar
to become uncanny? What are the literary sources that made S. Freud’s uncanny possible?
What is the link between the uncanny and other concepts of his metapsychology?
How do different schools of psychoanalytic thought view “The Uncanny” today,
inside and outside of the consulting room?

Presents
PSYCHOANALYSIS AND REINCARNATION:
An Integration of Freud’s Timeless Unconscious
And The Buddhist Concept of Many Lives
Ruth Rosenbaum
Discussant: Alan Roland
Sunday, May 4, 2014
5:30 – 7:00 pm
at NPAP, 40 West 13 Street*
Few discussions of Buddhism and psychoanalysis address one of the essential features of Buddhist philosophy: reincarnation and the evolution of the soul over many lifetimes. This talk will show how integrating psychoanalytic treatment with the Buddhist concept of “bag chags,” karmic patterns that form over many incarnations, can enhance psychodynamic work with certain patients. Since recent surveys indicate that over 25% of Americans, from all religious backgrounds, believe in reincarnation, analysts are likely to encounter this belief at some point in their work. Clinical material will be used in the presentation.
