Re: Dostoevski and psychoanalysis

AnSt: This is a common mistake. Freud was not a psychiatrist. He was a neurologist. He invented a form of psychotherapy which he called psychoanalysis.
In fact, I wrote at first "neuropathologists" but then replaced it with a shorter word (that turned out to be wrong).
What is more interesting, this was probably the first mention of Freud in the Russian press. Curious that he was mentioned by the (incorrectly spelt) first name. The existence on Antiterra of Dr Froit of Signy-Mondieu-Mondieu and his émigré brother with a passport-changed name (who can be the same man), a Dr Froid, seems to correspond to the Sigmund/Sigmunt opposition. Note that froid is French for "cold", while vred* is Russian for "harm, damage".
DEMON = MONDE
MON DIEU = MONDE + OUI - O
DEMON + MONDE = DEMI-MONDE + NO - I
SIGNY-MONDIEU-MONDIEU = SIGMUND + INEY + MONDE + OUI (iney is Russian for "hoar-frost", monde is French for "world", oui is French for "yes")
SIGNY-MONDIEU-MONDIEU + C + LOLITA + L + OR + DR FROID + VINUM = CYGNUS OLOR + DEMI-MONDE + DU + I + DR FROIT + LUNA + ILI + VINO + M (or is French for "gold", vinum is Latin for "wine", Cygnus olor is Latin for "mute swan", du is German for "you", luna is Russian for "moon", ili is Russian for "or", vino is Russian for "wine"; I, L, C, M are Roman numerals)
*Russian spelling of Freud is Freyd (?????). Of course, I'm aware that Freude is German for "joy". Btw., Freud is also mentioned (for the first and, one presumes, last time in Soviet literature) in Ilf and Petrov's The Golden Calf (1931), whose hero, Ostap Bender, uses the phrases mon dieu and mein Gott, when speaking to his landlord, Vasisualiy Lokhankin.
Alek, yes, one Skylark (anagramaniac)
