In his early theorizing, Freud described traumas as being not merely agents provocateurs but foreign bodies embedded in the psyche with sustained and strong influence.  The same can be said of Freud's ideas:  they did not merely get psychoanalysis going, but continue, now, to define our field of work.  On this premise, we will work through a chronological sample of Freud's texts.  Each participant will have the opportunity to develop and expand an active relationship to Freud's thinking.
