Read Ebook The Book of the It, by Georg Groddeck
Georg Walther Groddeck was born in Germany in 1866. Although he spent his early years as a writer—he produced a novel, poetry, and a volume of art criticism—he became a doctor in middle life and, from that point on, thought of himself as healer rather than artist. He spent the remainder of his life as director of a clinic at Baden-Baden, and continued to write, but his plan for reviewing every aspect of knowledge in terms of the hypothesis presented in The Book of the It was cut short by his death in 1934. His other books, The World of Man, The Unknown Self, and Exploring the Unconscious, are collections of Groddeck’s writings on science, cosmology, and art.

Groddeck as a physician goes into hysteric conversion as the source for all somatic disorders and is very clear and convincing.But for some reason, I get the nagging feeling that this is an attack on Freudian theory. Groddecks' psychoanalysis really outdoes Freud in the obscure depths to which it plumbs for the psychic mechanism behind accidental occurrences to the individual that reasonably would be viewed as beyond control. If a bird were to die mid-flight from a great height, and fall to strike a pedestrian, let's say knocking them out cold, Groddeck would ask, "Why didn't you look up, or what were you doing to desire this?"The level of omniscience required of the physician, as well as the patient, become god-like, and here is where I feel the parody is being played; Groddeck surpasses Freud in his claims as to what psychoanalysis is capable of and it becomes a form of mysticism. Groddeck certainly understand Freud and can convey his thoughts more clearly and concisely, more readably than Freud, which is a plus right there. A person needs to understand what they are criticizing.What also comes to mind is C.S.Lewis', The Screwtape Letters, published 20 years later. It is cleverly written from the viewpoint of a denizen of Hell to a student, yet the message is the exact opposite to what is being stated (Lewis' book is very Christian), which is precisely what I suspect is happening in Groddeck's, Book of the It. Also consider the name Groddeck uses in his book: Patrick Troll, and 'troll' can be viewed as a type of demon. I become very curious about Lewis' take on Groddecks work and his *possible* employment of a similar method to achieve his results from a diametrically opposed angle.My 2 cents of course. Read Groddeck, and Freud, and Lewis - they're all excellent 20th Century thinkers
4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. That's IT! By S. Post Not only was he a healer who made people around him feel good, expressive of his tolerance, acceptance, and humor about the way we 'whir', Groddeck was a key explorer of psychosomatic illness, and an advancer to a more universal level of psychoanalysis. In a sense, Groddeck's awareness of the IT makes him a disloser of the singer of the book of songs Jung heard, a protean father of energy psychology, and a standard of modesty and respect for our mysterious inevitable, sometimes misguided sometimes in tune union with the Tao.Keyserling said that of all people he knew, Groddeck reminded him most of his idea of Lao Tzu. I got interested in Groddeck after hearing how Alan Watts laughed when speaking of him. By internalizing his Es Punchts (It Points) of union which are implied as a guide not so much stated or imposed as rules, with a fearlessacceptance of the yeasty, frothy, stinky, stinky muck and mire of your own body/mind sack full of passion, horror, and adding the impulse to enlightenment, you may turn the Rota- wheel of your life into a Tarot of a new type - a Grow Deck and turn over a new leaf generating a wild new tree of life and knowledge of good and evil, as the wheel turns, each moment a new opportunity, your root to heaven flower living forever now.
