1/9 Readings
Freud (1916): "On the History of the Psycho-Analytic Movement"
Bergmann (1993): "Reflections on the History of Psychoanalysis"
Our theme this week is "Reconstructing Psychoanalytic History" so when looking at these two papers try to think about how an outsider might construe debates in the discipline and how this measures up to Freud's arguments for what Psychoanalysis should consist in. This will frame out reading of Jung and (a bit of) Adler.
Please leave comments if you have any questions that you would like to raise in discussion, or if there are points of information in need of clarification.

"The Adlerian theory was from the very beginning a 'system' - which psycho-analysis was careful to avoid becoming"
(from Freud's history of the psycho-analytic movement. I'm reading a different edition, I don't know the page number)
This seems like an important point and might be interesting to discuss--psychoanalysis as "not a system." Psychoanalysis specifically crafted to not be a system.
