Just Published: ... the enormous shadow of Freud no longer lies on my path. The Rebellion of Otto Gross. Proceedings of the 6^th International Otto Gross Congress in Vienna

15 January 15, 2008 - Entitled “... the enormous shadow of Freud no longer lies on my path: The Rebellion of Otto Gross”, the publication of proceedings of the 6^th International Otto Gross Congress that took place in Vienna is now available. The publication contains all the presentations of the meeting.

The Congress was organized by the International Otto Gross Society in cooperation with the Ludwig-Boltzmann Institute for research into addiction, the University Clinic for Depth Psychology and Psychotherapy of the Medical University of Vienna, the Institute for the History of Medicine at the Medical University of Vienna, the Institute for Science and Art, Vienna, and the Austrian Society for the pharmaceutically based treatment of addicts (ÖGABS).

In a letter to Frieda Weekley (born von Richthofen) Otto Gross, the Austrian doctor, psychoanalyst and revolutionary (1877-1920) wrote “... the enormous shadow of Freud no longer lies on my path.” With this he outlined his attempts to employ psychoanalytical methods to the entire structures of society. Gross developed a scientific concept that can be summarized in the sentence: “The psychology of the unconscious is the philosophy of revolution.” According to this concept, the making conscious of unconscious events, accomplished through therapeutic help, could be used for social change and thus for rebellion against the ruling patriarchal structures.

Numerous presenters from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain, Japan and the United States devoted their presentations to questions about the history of medicine, psychiatry, philosophy and psychoanalysis. Other foci of the meeting were such themes as “Trauma, Pain, and Addiction,” “Emancipation”, and “Coffeehouse,” and dealt with central questions about Otto Gross and the young generation of the 20^th Century. Another area of the congress focused on “Otto Gross and Women”, for example the Swiss writer Regina Ullmann, the painter Sophie Benz, and the sisters Else and Frieda von Richthofen.
