Il modo migliore di riscostruire la storia della psicoanalisi non è quello di cominciare dalle teorie ma dagli autori e dai loro contesti. Importanti contributi allo studio dell'Io furono dati in Europa già da Ferenczi e Fenichel, ben prima che Hartmann fondasse la Psicologia dell'Io che egemonizzò il campo negli Stati Uniti. Nell'Europa dell'anteguerra importanti contributi a quella che qui viene chiamata "psicologia psicoanalitica dell'Io" vennero da Anna Freud, Paul Federn e Gustav Bally, e nel dopoguerra da Alexander Mitscherlich, Paul Parin e Johannes Cremerius per la comunità di lingua tedesca e da Joseph Sandler per quella di lingua inglese. Su questa base si potrebbe parlare di "psicologie dell'Io" al plurale, come si fa per le diverse teorie delle relazioni oggettuali. La psicologia psicoanalitica dell'Io di Fenichel attraverso i princìpi tecnici da lui enunciati negli anni 1930 informa tuttora di sé il lavoro di tanti psicoanalisti anche se in modo inconsapevole, soprattutto in Germania. Rappresenta ad esempio l'ingrediente di fondo della "terapia psicoanalitica", empiricamente verificabile, formalizzata da Helmut Thomä e Horst Kächele.

Term Analysis

Summarizing the activities of the Sigmund-Freud-Institute (SFI) in Frankfurt am Main in 1969, its director Alexander Mitscherlich painted a bleak picture of recent events. Psychoanalysis had always faced opposition in Germany, he wrote, but of late Freudianism contended with several broadsides simultaneously: critics still maintained that it placed too much emphasis on sexuality; some added that behavioral therapy or sophisticated medication did a better job at treating patients than long-term analysis; yet others argued that Freud's teachings may have been relevant in 1900, but that society no longer resembled turn-of-the-twentieth-century Vienna. On top of all this, Mitscherlich complained, a new generation demanded that psychoanalysis figure as chief witness for an antiauthoritarian education that emphasized indulgence rather than sublimation. “Society” continued to make life difficult for psychoanalysis, then, and it was for this reason that the government needed to assist the SFI in its efforts to train a new generation of analysts in Germany.

This essay explores how the experience of National Socialism provoked German intellectuals to rethink elitist conventions in politics. It focuses on three figures in the town of Heidelberg—Alexander Mitscherlich, Dolf Sternberger, and Alfred Weber—as well as on a journal (Die Wandlung) and a discussion forum (the Aktionsgruppe Heidelberg) that they established after 1945. Breaking with both mandarin and vanguardist traditions, they conceived a politics that neither transpired over the masses’ heads nor sought to organize them from above but rested on the people's participation from below. Moreover, a correspondence existed between their thinking on democracy and the grassroots, extra-institutional activities they pursued in an attempt to realize what they called “publicness” (Öffentlichkeit). Finally, the essay relates such immediate postwar ideas and practices to these intellectuals’ stances toward West Germany after 1949 as well as to the discussion on “publicness” that unfolded there, as exemplified in Jürgen Habermas's early work.
