Sigmund Freud - Mourning And Melancholia

This week we're reading Freud's wild essay on mourning and melancholia. Freud's theory is that mourning results from a loss in the world, whereas melancholia results from a loss in the ego. We discuss what that means, as well as some of Freud's more dicey claims. Enjoy!Photo by Dana Bailey on Unsplash
