Borch-Jacobsen then reaffirmed that Sigmund Freud, after having started to use suggestive hypnotic psychotherapy on Hippolyte Bernheim in 1887 replaced it with the cathartic method in 1899, no longer using hypnosis as a means of direct suggestion, but to bring out suppressed feelings of patients’ traumas. After practicing using free association in 1892, Freud totally abandoned hypnosis at the end of 1896. This is explained in the following manner by Chertok: “Par opposition à l’hypnose, Freud avait cru fonder une psychothérapie scientifique, destinée, comme telle, à devenir la psychothérapie par excellence. L’interprétation et la prise de conscience y constituaient le pivot de la cure. L’affectivité ne pouvait certes pas être éliminée de la nouvelle méthode mais elle se trouvait canalisée dans le transfert, et par là, dominée et mise au service de la connaissance. Telle était l’ambition du fondateur de la psychanalyse, en cette fin de siècle encore toute imprégnée d’esprit positiviste” (“In his opposition to hypnosis, Freud was known to have founded a scientific psychotherapy, destined, as such, to become the psychotherapy par excellence. The interpretation and the capture of consciousness thus becomes the fulcrum of the cure. The effectiveness of the new method certainly could not be discounted, but in it one can find it being channelled into transference, and by that, come to dominate the consciousness and put it to work. Such was the ambition of the Founder of Psychoanalysis [Freud], and the turn of the century was once again filled with positivity”). It is precisely this posture of Freud’s that the consciousness is “dominated” that was put into question by Borch-Jacobsen.
