Il genio di Freud è largamente riconosciuto non solo nel campo della psicoanalisi. Le sue teorie hanno rivoluzionato in modo definitivo il pensiero occidentale. Ma quello che colpisce nella sua opera è l'anticonformismo, che si traduce in un'audacia teorica mai provocatoria e sempre razionale. Freud scopre l'Edipo scrivendo sul sogno poco dopo la morte di suo padre. Afferma che la sessualità determina la vita umana. E colloca all'origine della vita sessuale un desiderio ingovernabile che chiama "pulsione".

Where do her loyalties lie now? With England, country of her father? Or the Punjab, the country she knows best, where her friends are, and where she grew up?

Per secoli, la mente umana è sembrata trasparente. Si sapeva che qualcosa sfuggiva al controllo della coscienza, ma si trattava di messaggi inviati dagli dèi. Poi, tutto cambia. Con Freud è l'inconscio che spiega l'origine e il significato dei sogni, ma anche le sviste e i lapsus della vita quotidiana. Un inconscio che tutti noi conosciamo, ma che non è l'unico. Incontreremo qui altri inconsci; quello, pervasivo, che chiamiamo cognitivo e che è l'esito dell'evoluzione naturale del cervello.

Post-traumatic stress disorder was recognized as a psychiatric disorder in the latter part of the 19th century. In PTSD, Allan V. Horwitz traces the fluctuations in definitions of and responses to traumatic psychic conditions. Arguing that PTSD, perhaps more than any other diagnostic category, is a lens for showing major historical changes in conceptions of mental illness, he surveys the conditions most likely to produce traumas, the results of those traumas, and how to evaluate the claims of trauma victims.

When Paul Collins’s son Morgan was two years old, he could read, spell, and perform multiplication tables in his head … but not answer to his own name. A casual conversation—or any social interaction that the rest of us take for granted—will, for Morgan, always be a cryptogram that must be painstakingly decoded. He lives in a world of his own: an autistic world. In Not Even Wrong, Paul Collins melds a memoir of his son’s autism with a journey into this realm of permanent outsiders.
