The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-41466-9 (ISBN)
The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud suggests that humankind has secrets to hide and does so by using common mechanisms and embedding revealing hints for the benefit of the true reader. Using a psychoanalytic approach in tandem with literary criticism and an in-depth assessment of Judaica, Szajnberg demonstrates the similarities between these two towering Jewish intellectual pillars. Using concepts of esoteric literature from the Torah and later texts, this book analyses their ideas on concealing and revealing to gain a renewed perspective on Freud’s view of dreams. Throughout, Szajnberg articulates the challenges of reading translated works and how we can address the pitfalls in such translations.
The book is a vital read for psychoanalysts in training and practice, as well as those interested in Judaica, the history of ideas, and early medieval studies.
Nathan Szajnberg is a training analyst and retired Sigmund Freud Professor of Psychoanalysis at The Hebrew University, Israel. Szajnberg was born in Germany, grew up in Rochester, NY, and attended the College and Medical School at the University of Chicago, USA. His residencies include pediatrics, general, and child psychiatry, and he completed his psychoanalytic training at the St. Louis Institute, USA. He lives in Palo Alto with his wife and four children.
