Drives in Dispute: The West German Student Movement, Psychoanalysis, and the Search for a New Emotional Order, 1967–1971

Abstract: Summarizing the activities of the Sigmund-Freud-Institute (SFI) in Frankfurt am Main in 1969, its director Alexander Mitscherlich painted a bleak picture of recent events. Psychoanalysis had always faced opposition in Germany, he wrote, but of late Freudianism contended with several broadsides simultaneously: critics still maintained that it placed too much emphasis on sexuality; some added that behavioral therapy or sophisticated medication did a better job at treating patients than long-term analysis; yet ot… Show more

“…Opposing itself to this familial approach, the Kinderläden movement was based around the group of children or the children's collective. Its critique of the middle-class nuclear family was informed by a political reading of psychoanalytic theory (Kauders, 2011).

Gerhardt 2014, Kauders 2011, Tändler 2015. Gerade die Enttäuschung der politischen Euphorie und die Implosion des pädagogischen Überschwangs der späten Sechziger-Jahre scheinen jedoch die "therapeutischen Verheißungen" (Tändler 2015: 110) erst recht beflügelt zu haben: In den Siebziger-Jahren setzte ein ungeahnter therapeutischer Siegeszug ein.…”

“…The object here is not to fault the Mitscherlichs’ radical intervention in West German moral debate about the war, which thrust their work into the foreground of conflicts between students and authorities at the end of the 1960s (see Habermas, 1989; Kauders, 2011b; T. A. Kohut, 2012).…”
