The seminar will focus on a comparison of the lives, works and contributions of two important figures who have fundamentally influenced the development of psychology and psychotherapy in the first half of the 20th century - Břetislav Kafka and Sigmund Freud.
Bohuslav Větrovský, an expert on the life and work of Břetislav Kafka, will present the parallels and differences in the lives, opinions and works of these two giants. He will compare their approach to the human psyche, the subconscious, the unconscious, dreams and psychoanalysis. It will point out how Kafka was ahead of his time. There are many world greats of the time who shaped the views and perspectives of science on the human psyche.
Freud, Kafka, Bechterev, Jung, Roerich and many other world greats studied the human mind.
Now we will delve into the past together and try to gradually reintroduce these giants in our time. As the first greats we will invite Bretislav Kafka and Sigismund Shlomo Freud into our minds. The former was born in Červený Kostelec and the latter in the small town of Příbor.
Seminar participants will gain a unique insight into the thought world of two pioneers of modern psychology. They will learn how their theories and methods have influenced contemporary psychotherapeutic practice and how their legacies are still alive and inspiring for today's generation of psychologists and therapists.
We look forward to the next seminar in the pleasant surroundings in the Municipal Library Nové Město nad Metují
