 Drawing
the Dream of the Wolves : Homosexuality, Interpretation, and
Freud's 'Wolf Man' by Whitney Davis
Davis argues that the visual dimension of
Freud's writing is crucial to understanding its structure and
significance. He offers a new and challenging reading of Freud's
case study of Serge Pankejeff, the "Wolf Man." Much of
the analysis revolved around Pankejeff's childhood dream of wolves
and a drawing of this dream he made for Freud.
 Does
the Woman Exist? : From Freud's Hysteria to Lacan's Feminine by
Paul Verhaeghe, Marc Du Ry (Translator)
The short answer
is no; woman does not exist.
But it is the long answer, the one Paul Verhaeghe gives in this
important book, that will dazzle you. By giving psychoanalysis's
weighty pronouncement the detailed attention it deserves, he
conclusively demonstrates not only how thoroughly it informs all
psychoanalytic thouht, but how difficult it was even for Freud and
Lacan to discern and then face up to its full, radical import.
Suggesting that we have not yet met the full conceptual challenge
posed by the woman's inexistence, Verhaeghe clears the way for a
whole new era of research in the feminine. This book will excite
and ispire all those interested in the question of sexual
difference. -Joan Copjec.
It is effectively as if we were all waiting for
a book like Verhaeghe's "Does the Woman Exist?" - this
book comes as a miraculous answer to the confusions surrounding
Freud's and Lacan's theory of feminine sexuality. Verhaeghe
clearly demonstrates how Lacan avoided both the scylla of
patriarchal logic as well as the Charybdis of the fashionable
feminist dismissal of Lacan as phallogocentrist. After reading
this book, it should be clear that, far from being outdated,
psychoanalytic approach to feminine sexuality enables us to find
our way in the confusions and deadlocks of our allegedly
permissive postmodern society. On top of it, Verhaeghe combines
strict theoretical approach with clinical references and thus
avoids the usual culturalist trap. A must for anyone who wants to
grasp what psychoanalysis has to say today! -Slavoj Zizek

The Freud Museum, at 20 Maresfield Gardens in
Hampstead, was the home of Sigmund Freud and his family when they
escaped Nazi annexation of Austria in 1938. It remained the family
home until Anna Freud,
the youngest daughter, died in 1982. The centrepiece of the museum
is Freud's library
and study, preserved just as it was during his lifetime.
It contains Freud's remarkable collection
of antiquities: Egyptian; Greek; Roman and Oriental. Almost
two thousand items fill cabinets and are ranged on every surface.
There are rows of ancient figures on the desk where Freud wrote
until the early hours of the morning. The walls are lined with
shelves containing Freud's large library of reference books...

The Freud Museum houses the possessions Freud
brought with him to London at his emigration in 1938, including
his library and personal papers. It also contains Anna Freud's
papers. The present archive catalogue lists letters, documents and
photos.
The archive consists primarily of copies: most
original documents were transferred to Washington to form the
Sigmund Freud Archives in the Library of Congress. At present the
archive catalogue lists around 6,000 letters to and from Freud,
1,500 others and over 1,000 miscellaneous documents. The
Freud Museum archive continues to receive material from various
sources and the catalogue will continue to be updated at
intervals.
