"Under the influence of an older friend and by my own efforts, I discovered some important new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of instinctual urges, and so on. Out of these findings grew a new science, psychoanalysis, a part of psychology, and a new method of treatment of the neuroses. I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck." Sigmund Freud, December 7, 1938, BBC Radio.
BBC News Società Psicoanalitica Italiana Rivista di Psicoanalisi

Nella giornata mondiale degli audiovisivi, ci piace ricordare che esiste una incisione della voce di Sigmund Freud, registrata qualche mese prima della sua dipartita.

Il 7 dicembre 1938, la radio BBC fece visita a Freud nella sua casa ad Hampstead, nel nord di Londra. Freud si era trasferito in Inghilterra solo qualche mese prima per sfuggire all’annessione nazista dell’Austria. Aveva 81 anni e soffriva di un incurabile cancro alla mascella. Pronunciare ogni parola era un’agonia.

Meno di un anno più tardi, quando il dolore divenne insopportabile, Freud chiese al suo dottore di somministrargli una dose letale di morfina. La registrazione della BBC è l’unica audioregistrazione conosciuta di Freud, il fondatore della psicoanalisi e una delle più rilevanti figure intellettuali del 20° secolo. In un inglese fortemente accentato, parla della psicoanalisi e del suo sforzo di alleviare il dolore dei suoi pazienti.

"The only revolution really worthy of such a name would be the revolution of peace, the one that would transform the man trained for war into a man educated for peace because he had been educated for peace. That would be humanity's great mental and therefore cultural revolution. That would finally be the new man we've been talking about."

Celebrating World Peace Day! 🎉🕊



"When two large groups are in conflict, the enemy is obviously real, but it is also fantasized. If participants can differentiate their fantasized dangers from the current issues, then negotiations and steps towards peace can become more realistic. Psychopolitical dialogues become a process in which historical grievances are aired; perceptions, fears, and attitudes are articulated; and previously hidden psychological obstacles to reconciliation or change rise to the surface. Their aim is not to erase the images of past historical events and differences in large-group identity and culture, but rather to detoxify the relationship so that differences do not lead to renewed violence."

- Vamik Voltan

Freud’s attachment to his family and grandchildren can be seen through his affection, involvement and the significance he placed on maintaining close family bonds.

This photo shows Sigmund Freud with his grandaughter Eva, taken in 1927. Eva Freud (1924-1944) was Oliver and Henny Freud's daughter.

We believe this photograph of Freud's younger brother, Alexander, was taken on one of their holidays together – can you help us identify the location? 🕵️‍♀️🚢

From 1895 Freud travelled to Italy nearly every summer in the company of his younger brother, Alexander, or a favoured colleague. Freud was very unpractical when it came to details of travelling – and for more complicated journeys, Alexander was the one to make all the arrangements.

In 1904, the brothers travelled to Athens for the first and last time: a result of last-minute changes in their holiday plans. Our new exhibition, ‘Tracing Freud on the Acropolis’, opening in July, investigates their trip and Freud’s profound experience on the Acropolis.
