Ludwig Binswanger (April 13, 1881 – February 5, 1966) was a Swiss psychiatrist and pioneer in the field of existential psychology. His grandfather (also named Ludwig Binswanger) was founder of the "Bellevue Sanatorium" in Kreuzlingen, and his uncle Otto Binswanger was a professor of psychiatry at the University of Jena. He is considered the most distinguished of the phenomenological psychologists, and the most influential in making the concepts of existential psychology known in Europe and the United States.〔Todd May, 'Foucault's Relation to Phenomenology', in Gary Gutting ed., ''The Cambridge Companion to Foucault'' (2007) p. 287〕 ==Life and career== In 1907 Binswanger received his medical degree from the University of Zurich. As a young man he worked and studied with some of the greatest psychiatrists of the era, such as Carl Jung, Eugen Bleuler and Sigmund Freud. He visited Freud (who had cited his uncle Otto's work on Neurasthenia)〔Sigmund Freud, ''Civilization, Society and Religion'' (PFL 12) p. 36〕 in 1907 alongside Jung, approvingly noting his host's "distaste for all formality and etiquette, his personal charm, his simplicity, casual openness and goodness".〔Quoted in Peter Gay, ''Freud: A Life for Our Time'' (1988) p. 203〕 The two men became lifelong friends, Freud finding Binswanger's 1912 illness "particularly painful", and Binswanger offering Freud a refuge in Switzerland in 1938.〔Gay, p. 229 and p. 789〕 Binswanger became a member of the early 'Freud Group' Jung led in Switzerland;〔Ernest Jones, ''The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud'' (1961) p. 331〕 but nevertheless wrestled throughout his life over the place of psychoanalysis in his thinking〔Gay, p. 242-3〕 - his 1921 article on 'Psychoanalysis and clinical Psychiatry'〔Otto Fenichel, ''The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neorosis'' (London 1946) p. 416 and p. 598〕 being only one landmark of that lifelong struggle.〔Herbert Spiegelberg, ''Phenomenology in Psychology and Psychiatry'' (1972) p. 197〕 Binswanger was further influenced by existential philosophy, particularly after WWI,〔Spiegelberg, p. 198-202〕 through the works of Martin Heidegger, Edmund Husserl, and Martin Buber, eventually evolving his own distinctive brand of existential-phenomenological psychology. From 1911 to 1956, Binswanger was medical director of the sanatorium in Kreuzlingen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ludwig Binswanger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
