“Freud was born too soon– fifty years too soon”
Fred Sander, M.D.

In this thought experiment, Dr. Sander imagines that Freud was born in 1906, fifty years after his actual birth. With this shift in Freud’s birth, Sander suggests a different trajectory for psychoanalysis than the one we are currently linked to. Unlike the revolutions Copernicus and Darwin initiated the psychoanalytic revolution, though also the product of one man, was shaped by the era of its creation. Scientific and cultural changes in the first half of the 20th Century might have altered the unfolding of the discovery of the unconscious mind thus averting its current state of crisis.
Dr. Fred Sander is an Associate Clinical Professor at the Weill-Cornell Dept. of Psychiatry and for over forty years has taught the integration of individual and family therapy at numerous medical centers in New York and nationally including the Association for Psychoanalytic Medicine, our own NYPSI and the American Psychoanalytic annual meetings. His book Individual and Family Therapy: Toward an Integration can now be downloaded free at freepsychotherapybooks.org
Students, academics and clinical professionals in the analytic community are encouraged to attend.
Educational Objectives: Attendees will be able to
1. Describe the trajectory of psychoanalysis as a function of the scientific and cultural context of Freud’s discoveries.
