Book Announcement by Pamela Cooper-White <\/strong>(USA)<\/p>\n

\"cooperwhitecoverimage1117w\"<\/a>Freud\u2019s collection of antiquities \u2013 his \u201cold and dirty gods” \u2013 stood as silent witnesses to the early analysts\u2019 paradoxical fascination and hostility toward religion. In Old and Dirty Gods: Religion: Antisemitism, and the Origins of Psychoanalysis <\/em>(Routledge, 2017), Pamela<\/em> Cooper-White argues that antisemitism, reaching back centuries before the Holocaust, and the acute perspective from the margins that it engendered among the first analysts, stands at the very origins of psychoanalytic theory and practice. The core insight of psychoanalytic thought \u2013 that there is always more beneath the surface appearances of reality, and that this \u201cmore\u201d is among other things affective, memory-laden and psychological \u2013 cannot fail to have had something to do with the experiences of the first Jewish analysts in their position of marginality and oppression in Habsburg-Catholic Vienna of the 20th<\/sup> century. The book concludes with some parallels between the decades leading to the Holocaust and the current political situation in the U.S. and Europe, and their implications for psychoanalytic practice today. Covering Oskar Pfister, Theodor Reik, Otto Rank, and Sabina Spielrein as well as Freud, Cooper-White sets out how these early religious differences shaped the development of psychoanalysis, and how these tensions continue to affect psychoanalysis today. Old and Dirty Gods <\/em>will be of great interest to psychoanalysts as well as religious studies scholars.<\/p>\n

Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAt a time in history when there has been a resurgence of right-wing, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, and nationalistic, and even racial-purity movements, both in Europe and the United States, Pamela Cooper-White\u2019s Old and Dirty Gods<\/em> is an important historical, moral, and psychological contribution. She enhances our understanding of the origins of psychoanalysis and its tangled interconnection with antisemitism, racism, and immigration. Cooper-White provides a valuable examination of the early analysts around Freud and their relation to religion, and provides a detailed and thorough study of the impact of antisemitism on these early pioneers and on their legacy throughout the ongoing history of psychoanalysis.\u201d<\/p>\n
