Conclusion

Abstract

Abstract This chapter contrasts Sigmund Freud’s and Théodore Flournoy’s contributions to the history of depth psychology. It suggests that despite Freud’s demarcation of psychoanalysis through his theory of sexuality, modern notions of the unconscious were never exempt of enchantment. Rather, as Smith’s story illustrates, theories of the unconscious reshaped boundaries between the fields of science and the occult through their displacement of ghostly voices within the self. For scientists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this displacement was either permitted by, or served to explain, the mysteries of female embodiment.
