On Freud’s “Neurosis and Psychosis” and “The Loss of Reality in Neurosis and Psychosis” explores these two key papers on the topics of psychosis and neurosis and their relationship to the unconscious and to reality.
The contributors to this book approach these texts from both a historical and a contemporary point of view, highlighting their fundamental contributions and comparing Freud’s thoughts with modern psychoanalytic theory. The chapters demonstrate the ongoing richness of Freud’s work and his legacy by highlighting new ideas and developments and include both clinical vignettes and theoretical insight. The contributors also raise questions that deserve further study, about the understanding and treatment of psychosis in children, distinctions and similarities between autism and psychosis, and the way in which aspects of our rapidly changing world – social media, climate change, AI - influence the evolution of psychotic states.
On Freud’s “Neurosis and Psychosis” and “The Loss of Reality in Neurosis and Psychosis” will be essential reading for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically oriented clinicians in practice and in training. It will also be of interest to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies and to readers interested in how modern clinicians interpret Freud’s work.
Reviews and Endorsements
The essays in this thoughtfully constructed book open new and important vistas in our understanding of psychosis and the psychoses. These are certainly times that demand of psychoanalysis a return to the study of psychosis and the authors offer us an enlightening beginning to that task.

“Contrary to other writings, Freud (1925) stated that ‘the treatment of psychotic patient can be useful for the formulation of new theories, and the transference in psychotic patients is not completely absent. Transference is often not entirely absent but can be used to a certain extent’. Your book will be a mandatory study for all psychoanalysis scholars. The chapters dedicated to the evolution of the concept of neurosis and psychosis in Freud’s work are of great theoretical and clinical richness.
