In this provocative application of Freudian psychoanalytic theory, Jule Eisenbud probes issues around the Oedipal complex—expressions of infantile desire for the breast, ambivalence towards the mother from dependence on her, and the terrors of abandonment in infancy and childhood. Describing how these fixations and projections are developed and transformed in the unconscious throughout life, Eisenbud shows how they may have influenced the life and creative careers of such major figures as René Descartes, George Bernard Shaw, William Hogarth, Giorgio de Chirico, Utrillo, naturalist John James Audubon, and especially Alfred Hitchcock, whose films Esienbud psychoanalyzes. Humorous, thoughtful, and provocative, Eisenbud’s blend of prehistory, history of science, art criticism, popular culture and psychoanalysis demonstrates the universality and timelessness of unconscious themes.

Synopsis:
Embracing the prehistoric Venus and the films of Alfred Hitchcock, this psychoanalytic scholarship deals explicitly with issues around the Oedipal complex - fear, desire, and hatred of the mother and the breast, and the terrors of abandonment in infancy and childhood. Eisenbud covers the creative careers of major artists, scientists and philosophers, including George Bernard Shaw, Spielberg, Descartes, Hogarth, Munch, and Chaplin. The book's goal, while using the ambivalence of love and hate toward the mother at its core, is to show afresh the power of basic psychoanalytic hypothesis, and its key place in the psychological sciences.
