Examines psychoanalysis as translation, using Freud's works to highlight key issues and implications.
This paper explores the idea that psychoanalysis may be seen as an act of translation. My hypothesis is that the problems raised by the process of translation lie at the heart of psychoanalysis. Taking this as my starting point, I explore the act of translation with reference to Mark Solms’s Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud (RSE) and its reception – a historic moment in the dream of a complete Freud in English.
