...AGAINST HIMSELF-Karl A. Menninger-Harcourt, Brace ($3.75). Suggestive, simply-written study (485 pages) of the many forms of self-destruction that operate in human beings, from suicide to the "accidents" that mysteriously fulfill the victims' intentions. Chapters on deliberate failures, self-mutilation, are documented with quotations from Freud that show the freshness and power of Freud's observations, with less telling illustrations from Dr. Menninger's own practice...
This dream, one of 400 which a patient transcribed for Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung, is one of thousands of fantasies which have been analyzed by the great onetime disciple of Sigmund Freud. Last year, lecturing at Yale University on "Religion in the Light of Science and Philosophy," tall, magnetic Dr. Jung let his listeners in on some of the dreams his work is made of. Last week his views were given wider currency, when his three closely-reasoned, fact-packed lectures* were published...
...indication of this possibility is the career of C. Day Lewis. Oldest (33) of the Oxford Poets, once considered almost indistinguishable from Poet Auden, he now orients himself to Marx where Auden follows Freud, now writes few poems and many book reviews, turns out detective stories under the pseudonym of Nicholas Blake. Last spring he published his first novel, The Friendly Tree, a love story almost panting with lyric breathlessness...
...week he published a second novel that is just as melodramatic as his first, a little longer, equally swift reading. It has its quota of close shaves, fights, flights and two-dimensional characters, suggests an old-fashioned pulp magazine thriller brought up to date by a writer who knows Freud as well as all tricks of suspense. Its hero (and narrator) is a world-famous singer who has lost his voice as well as his self-respect, expresses himself in language more appropriate to a police reporter than a star of the Metropolitan...
...august contemporary, Goethe, studying with Olympian detachment Heine's twisted mixture of harshness and tenderness, irony and romantic feeling, concluded that "Heine has every gift- except love." Psychoanalyst Freud more justly attributes Heine's acerbities to a defense mechanism, functioning with doubled power because he was not only a poet, but a Jew. Author Untermeyer, Jew and poet also, and a lifelong admirer of Heine's works, adopts in general the Freudian view, fills it out with consistent sympathy and understanding. If he errs in ascribing a more-than-probable importance to a bit of blighted calf...
