...century was fairly launched by Freud's probing of those psychic forces. But Freud's was only half a revolution. In the second half of the century, the probing of madness has entered a different phase. The new psychiatry, as Jules Henry writes, involves "a fundamental alteration in the approach to the patient-from seeing him alone, to seeing him together with his family; from perceiving him as sick, to perceiving him as a member of a sick family...
Psyche. Not jivin', but that may be hard to realize till we chase Freud out of the door, and Grier and Cobbs too unless they succeed in their efforts to free their psychological orientation from models of psychopathology, and come full-circle to re-definitions in conjunct with black culture. Nations consist of individuals, and for the time being, most individuals are shaped by the cauldron, or cesspool, or nest of their families, or the absence of family. No more visible chains on the body, the ultimate battleground is for the chains of definitions and fantasy that hang...
...less "mythical" and unsubstantiated by experimental procedure are the hypotheses of psychoanalytic theory.

To hear him tell it, he is as disenchanted with acting today as he was when he finished One-Eyed Jacks. "A movie star is nothing important," he says. "Freud. Gandhi. Marx. These people are important. But movie acting is just dull, boring, childish work...
...books. "Literature was the past that I had to overcome and contradict with something," Bertolucci has said, "and that something was the cinema. If I had to talk about authors who formed me, I would say Fitzgerald and Hemingway, Chandler and Hammett." Another, even more perceptible influence might be Freud. Bertolucci went into psychoanalysis at the age of 28, and his films since then demonstrate his deep involvement. His earlier films, including the jumbled and frenetic Partner (1968), had moments of almost frivolous political digression. Psychoanalysis has apparently made him more thoughtful, less interested in political dynamics than in personal...
