Influence

Groddeck will maintain, like many others, a correspondence with Sigmund Freud. It does not accept all the Métapsychologie, but is interested in resistance, with psychic sexuality, in order to cure organic diseases .

It was a Psychothérapeute original for the time, and convinced of the importance of the role of the Inconscient, more particularly of the authority called the that (near to what Freud calls the be or the that also) in the genesis of the disorders Somatique S currents.

In 1921, it publishes the Livre of that , in which it includes certain analytical concepts and introduces a concept of the that that Freud will modify thereafter, writing, in answer, It Me and it That . For Groddeck, any organic disease is in fact Psychosomatique.

Towards the end of its life, much of his/her colleagues and admirors requested it to create a school to promote its ideas. This request made it laugh and he says: “The disciples like that their Master remains motionless, while I take for an imbecile that which would wish that I say the same thing tomorrow as yesterday. If you want really to succeed me, honestly look at the life by yourself and known as in the world what you see. ”
