The Passions of the Mind

Irving Stone

The Passions of the Mind Irving Stone In the 1880's, Vienna was Europe's glamour capital. It was in that brilliant city that began his long struggle to free people everywhere from the blindfolds & chains of their unknown natures. The Passions of the Mind is the story of an extraordinary man who proved that some of the most exciting challenges aren't met on the battlefield or on mountain peaks, but inside the hearts & minds of individuals. The story is told with great attention to accuracy. His research is recounted as meticulously as in a biography, tho it's fictionalized to allow readers understanding of feelings & thought processes. Freud was one of Vienna's most distinguished neurologists. He gave up a life of respectable affluence to become a daring researcher of uncharted seas in an effort to change forever our understanding of human motivations. He was a pioneer explorer of the dark frontiers of the sexual nature of humans, for which he was made a pariah. Includes Glossary & Bibliography. "This book involved six years of uninterrupted research & writing, yet the road was lighted at every turn, by the kindness & the generosity of almost everyone who had known Sigmund Freud or worked with him."-- Irving Stone.

Sigi Freud noticed a little blood on a piece of bread he had been eating. He checked his mouth and found a spot on the right cheek from where the blood was coming. He paid it no serious attention, and the blood dried out. But a few days later, the bleeding returned. He checked his mouth again and noticed that the bleeding was coming from an area beyond the last tooth – he attributed the bleeding to a swollen gum or impacted tooth and did nothing for another few weeks. When the growth started extending to his palate he decided to consult a doctor, Dr. Markus Hajek. Dr. Hajek examined Sigi’s mouth and found a growth of leucoplakia on the mucosa of the hard palate. He advised Sigi to undergo a minor operation to excise the growth. Sigi didn’t take the advice right away. Later, he asked a young internist, Felix Deutsch, for a second opinion. Deutsch agreed with Dr. Hajek’s diagnosis. Sigi was worried and decided to have the growth excised. During the excision, Sigi bled profusely, but Hajek managed to remove the growth through the pool of blood – it wasn’t clear if Hajek removed all the growth though. The excised tissue was sent to the lab, which reported back that the growth was benign. But four months after the operation, the wound on Sigi’s palate failed to heal properly. He asked Deutsch to look at his mouth again. Deutsch looked but did not make any comment about the growth. A day later Deutsch told Sigi that he had made an appointment for Sigi to see Professor Hans Pichler, a famous oral surgeon. Dr. Pichler examined Sigi’s mouth and asked if Sigi wanted to know the truth. Certainly, Sigi answered.

Thom Swennes says

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an enigma in his time and in many ways he has remained so to this day. Trained in medicine at the University of Vienna, he was graduated in 1881 and practiced at the Vienna General Hospital. He researched the fields of aphasia, cerebral palsy and microscopic neuroanatomy. He is justly known as the founding father of . This story in more than a commemoration of a great person and his immense mind but it is also a story of love seldom equaled. Like in (Vincent van Gogh) and The Agony and the Ecstasy (Michelangelo), Irving Stone has brought the life of a very remarkable person to the forefront and given it life. I was particular fascinated and interested in hearing blatherskite on various subjects that have since been proven groundless or simply wrong. This, to me, shows a human aspect to a god in his field of expertise. The different cases presented in this book are both captivating and insightful. There is little the author could do to dulcify the times and attitudes of Europe

Starr says

I first fell victim to the web of Stone's literary genius about 10 years while reading The Agony and Ecstacy, his account of Michelangelo. Passions of the Mind and the intimate portrayal of Freud's struggle as he struggles for others, wrenches me away from myself. Irving Stone's capacity to understand the character who he is writing about in a compassionate manner, allows the reader to understand their joys and struggles. Although Freud's psychological methods are antiquated and deemed more harmful than helpful by the modern mental health community; all of those with mental illness owe him a great depth of gratitude. He undermined his own financial and personal comforts to help those who could not help themselves. Unafraid of what his contemporaries thought of him, he constantly strove to find answers to questions and worked hard and consistently. His biography also shows him to be a moral and upstanding family and father figure. I deeply respect Freud.

Angela Jacobs says

Very interesting book that takes us through the life of Sigmund Freud. We get to see how his illustrius career starts from its humble beginnings and how he weathered a lot of controversy and ridicule from his friends and collegues about his discoveries. Also of interest is his work in coccaine. It is very interesting, but also a bit dry, so if you require high action then this may not be the book for you, but the historians out there will enjoy becuase it also gives a nice glimpse of life in Vienna and Europe in the late 1800 and early 1900's

Erik Graff says

Facing prosecution for draft resistance, I dropped out of college for a year. During this time I had a number of uninteresting jobs, but found plenty of time outside of work to study, renew old friendships and get involved in community politics.

The biggest political accomplishment of the year was the creation of what we called the Park Ridge Community and Youth Coalitions which led, ultimately, to some legislation creating both youth and senior citizen centers in the city. More important, however, was the process and the involvement of thousands in our activities and hundreds in the creation of them.

Of all the persons who got involved, the most impressive was Kara, a high school senior at my old school. She was articulate, aggressive, well-read and had one of the most interesting families I've ever become close to. Fortuitously, her dad owned a print shop and pressed our community newspaper, News & Views, without charge. Kara also had the longest, thickest blonde hair I'd ever seen. Being a sucker for the hair thing, respect soon turned to desire. The age difference, however, led to restraint and restraint, naturally, increased the passion. It was great, like knowing and working with Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.

It was, I believe, on my twenty-first birthday, soon after the death of my childhood dog, Jimmy Olsen, that Kara presented me with Passions of the Mind, in hardcover, as a gift while we were standing in Hodges Park near the railway crossing in downtown Park Ridge. I was touched. Receiving any recognition from a friend, not a relative, on one's birthday was pretty much a new experience. The book itself wasn't one of Stone's best, but the thought behind it was good. I'd been studying continental depth psychology pretty seriously for months.

Kara, now a novelist and film director, was my first serious girlfriend. Unfortunately, she now splits her time between L.A. and Paris, so it's been years since we've seen one another. The memories, however, remain quite fond and precious.

Nancy says

Stone almost tempts you to call his novel non-fiction as he follows the life and accomplishments of Sigmund Freud. Freud built his theory of psychoanalysis slowly one step at a time. Some of the things we have heard about Freudian psychology have come from those who followed him and added or detracted from his theories. Freud was a careful scientist. His first medical achievement was to discover the correct dosage and use of cocaine for taking away pain from cataract operations. It was later in his career that he formulated the study of the mind, finding many adult neurosis seated in childhood experiences. I was surprised at the misconceptions I had about Freud which came from later scientists' corruptions of his theories and practices. He was a pioneer in his field. Granted psychoanalysis is not perfect nor is everyone cured of their mental illnesses, but he is to be commended for his groundwork in this science.

Michael Ho?da (Holda) says

Life of Sigmund Freud in novelist style, his interesting work as neurology as new and fascinating subject in his times (19th century breakthrough in medicine doctrine) Then, his work with, Jean-Martin Charcot "the founder of modern neurology". Besides, his traveling to live in France seemed to give him experience blended with his study and practice at hospital. Further, at the time when he started his private practice he found out benefits of hypnosis, however then he started psychoanalysis on himself to heal and learn roots to the mind. Just to work on his passion together with friends like . Even then he visited New York. Also there are parts of his family life in this biographical novel. And finally at the autumn of his live first ward war appears only to make problems but he moved to Tatra Mountains, but just before Second World War he had to emigrate to US.

Now, from my, historical point of view that book is like a mirror to the past (like most of the books). However I disliked Freud’s idea of going into patients mind and changing it (yes, he wanted only to cure his subjects but still unsafe idea).

Joe says

What can be said about this book must be absorbed from its pages. Irving Stone's eloquence is as artful as his research is thorough.

In true Stone fashion the biographical-novel begins in Sigmund Freud's mid-twenties, and chronicles his life in narrative form.

This is not the book for those who are deeply invested in understanding Freud's theories or psychoanalytic concepts, though they are obviously treated with some discrete insight as Freud lived and breathed his work.

Freud was an artist whose canvas was the written word, his inspiration was the mind.

Michael Smith says

This fictionalized biography of Sigmund Freud managed to endear itself to me despite the fact that as fiction it’s stilted and verbose to the point of stultifying, nothing at all like Stone’s excellent The Agony and The Ecstasy. At least I got the sense that the author’s massive research was leaving me with a real biography of Freud. I had to wonder why the author just didn’t write a straight biography, then thought that he probably was so used to thinking of himself as a writer of fictionalized biographies that his novelistic method was the only way to go about it. But though as a novel this work is a flop, my interest in the subject kept me going, aided by taking several months to read the book as I occasionally switched off to more interesting titles. The dialog in this novel is not credible, with Freud speaking what suspiciously appears to be lengthy extracts from his published works, and most characters apparently trying to sum up the essence of their psychoanalytic theories in long-winded, paragraphic declamations. Overwhelming details ranging from the contents of Freud’s apartment to minutiae about what happened on various vacations is apparently intended to fully call forth the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Vienna, but there is just so much of it that you suspect the author simply failed to succinctly nail down the theater stage where his characters would walk.

A sense of drama finally emerges in the last hundred pages out of 823, as Jung splits away from Freud, rival psychoanalytic factions take root, World War I devastates the family finances, and mouth cancer introduces Freud to physical suffering and personal mortality. The last section on his refusal to leave Vienna in 1938 even amid Nazi occupation, changing his mind only when his own daughter is arrested, then fleeing to England, is quite interesting, but we don’t get any further information after Freud arrives in England. Is the author trying to leave an impression of escape from evil and arrival in a new land, and some sense of immortality? But the last year of his life, including his assisted death by morphine in September 1939, would seem to be worthy of inclusion, as it’s part of his character.

Very interesting book about the professional development of Freud. The book begins during Freud's time at medical school, and journeys through his life as medical doctor and later founder of psychoanalysis, with personal information provided along the way. I enjoyed this book because it really showed the development of his ideas; while many of Freuds ideas are indeed lofty, weird, and since been declared as oversimplified or

"applying one theory to all problems," many other ideas are indeed still relevant today and have served as a basis for a great deal of psychological studies, therapies, and research that is still applied and accurate today. After reading this book, I appreicate Freud much more. While the book is interesting and has a great deal of fascinating information regarding psychology and psychoanlysis, I will say it is a very long book and can indeed get tiring at times, which is why I cannot give it 5 stars.

DoctorM says

Irving Stone spent a lifetime writing great, huge, ponderous novelised historical biographies. No one has ever accused him of vivid prose or crafting memorable characters. But he's readable, and I grew up reading his biographical novels about Darwin, Schliemann, Michaelangelo, and Freud and finding in them my introductions to places and times and ideas I might otherwise have missed.

I read "Passions of the Mind" in high school--- my first introduction to Freud and to fin-de-siecle Vienna and the Habsburg Monarchy. I was fascinated enough with Vienna and its twilight to ultimately go on to do a PhD based on Habsburg studies, and Stone's account of Freud's life sent me to read about the history of psychoanalysis and ultimately off into critical theory.

This is a slow, ponderous book. But it's a good introduction to Freud and his life, and it's full of period detail and research. For all Stone's failings as a writer, this is a book I remember fondly and one I will recommend here.
