Introduction: The Unreliable Worlds of the WolfmanThe more we read about the Wolfman, the less we -and Freud -seem to know. This is evident even in the brief chronology that Freud (1918, pp. 319-20) provides in a footnote added in 1923, thus: Born Christmas Day. 18 Months: malaria. Observes parents engaging in coitus, or intimacy between them into which he later introduced a fantasy of coitus. 2 1 = 2 : cover-memory of parents' departure with sister. This shows him alone with Nanja, thus denying the presence of Gruscha and his sister. Before the age of 3 1 = 4 : his mother complains to the doctor. 3 1 = 4 : beginning of his sister's attempts to seduce him; soon after this, threat of castration by Nanja. 3 1 = 2 : English governess, onset of character change.
This paper explores a suggestive, virtual and non-psychological unconscious in relation to three important writers in the late nineteenth century: Freud, Henri Bergson and Frederick Myers. Reading psychoanalysis through the concept of lived duration in Bergson's work enables us to understand an immanent model of a non-psychological unconscious. This is also a virtual unconscious that is located within Frederick Myer's concepts of a subliminal self. The virtual and non-psychological unconscious is implicit in the way Freud thought about the primary processes and in how he understood the basis of the unconscious, as dreaming. This paper explores the implications of such an account for psychoanalysis, how it allows us to perceive the unconscious, as not just a psychological entity, but as an unknowable life force of history.In this paper I want to offer a reading of a virtual, non-psychological unconscious. Reading Freud's primary unconscious through Henri Bergson's ideas of virtual life, returns us to debates on suggestion and hypnotism and to the terrain of late nineteenth-century subliminal psychology. A psychology associated with Pierre Janet, Frederick Myers and William James. 1 Subliminal psychology and psychoanalysis arose at the same historical point and both movements were initially understood in relation to the phenomenon of hypnosis. 2 In contrast to Freud, Myers conceived of a transpersonal, rather than an individual unconscious; one that communicates through hypnosis and telepathy. The importance of Myers's work in terms of a history of telepathy has been recently re-evaluated by Roger Luckhurst. Whereas the psychological significance of Myers's theory of the r
The authors have prepared below a bibliography of core holdings for libraries that include materials for teacher education. All the materials listed are held by over 100 libraries nationwide. Several of the titles are, in fact, held by over 400libraries. When the authors originally began to consider developing a core collection of educational materials they were motivated by a desire to target books that would benefit students in the Graduate School of Education (GSE). With the onslaught of reduced book budgets and diminishing staff in libraries and universities, it has become even more imperative to identify methods of helping students that are less labor intensive. Librarians at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) havedeveloped bibliographies of appropriate subject holdings for years, so updating an existing bibliography of educational materials seemed logical.
