On Freud’s “The Uncanny” explores Freud’s 1919 essay of the same name and elaboration of the concept of the uncanny and how others or `The Other’ can impact on our selves. Catalina Bronstein and Christian Seulin bring together contributions from renowned psychoanalysts from different theoretical backgrounds, revisiting Freud’s ideas 100 years after they were first published providing new perspectives that can inform clinical practice as well as shape the teaching of psychoanalysis. Covering key topics such as drives, clinical work, the psychoanalytic frame, and the influence of Ferenczi, On Freud’s “The Uncanny” will be useful for anyone wishing to understand the continued importance of the uncanny in contemporary psychoanalysis.
