DIED. Helene Deutsch, 97, eminent psychoanalyst and authority on myths and the psychology of women; in Cambridge, Mass. The Polish-born Deutsch, who was the first female psychoanalyst to be analyzed by Sigmund Freud, directed the Vienna Training Institute before immigrating to the U.S. in 1934. Rebellious in her youth and politically active all her life, Deutsch insisted that Freudian theory could liberate women. But many feminists have attacked her work, describing it as support for Freud's misogynous theories...
...golden-agers may even find their minds drifting back to the original Cat People (1942), from which this picture is less adapted than knocked off. Perhaps the most sophisticated horror film of its decade, it begins by considering a condition that might have served Freud as a case study in sexual hysteria. A young woman named Irena believes that if she makes love she will turn into a leopard-whereupon a man falls obsessively, irresistibly in love with her. Thereafter, through the play of sound and shadow, Director Jacques Tourneur suggests that it might be a good idea to take...

The Punic Wars rage; Emma Bovary pines; Bacon exhorts others to behave the way he never could. Here French is spoken. There Freud. So go war and peace, pride and prejudice, decline and fall, perpetually in motions as sweeping as Milton's or as slight as Emily Dickinson considering the grass. Every evening Gatsby looks at Daisy's green light, which is green forever. Every morning Gregor Samsa discovers that...
Ozick does not exercise her talents casually. An essay on aesthetics and the psychology of ghostly doubles tugs beneath the surface of Shots. From a Refugee's Notebook focuses on a Sigmund Freud who dreams of becoming a god, and then shifts to a science-fiction planet where a community of female dialecticians known as the Sewing Harem is the source of a society's rise and fall...
...Irish Brooklyn and the 1930s--should not be enough to warrant the unfavorable critical reaction the play has drawn. Sure, the effect on audiences is anything but the slick, lively finish that spells success for so many current musicals; nor does Alfred go in for the angst-packed, Freud-packed soul-searching that makes "serious" drama like Equus or Children of a Lesser God powerful. His tools are different...
