    writings on art, and its relationship to his metapsychology. My intention is to show that
    Freud's contribution to aesthetics, although criticised for being ambivalent and
    incomplete, is significant largely because it has made subsequent developments possible
    within the British School of Psychoanalysis.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.human-nature.com/free-associations/glover/chap1.html">Firstly, I shall look at Freud and 'pathography' - the viewing of art
    as a privileged form of neurosis where the analyst-critic explores the artwork in order to
    understand and unearth the vicissitudes of the creator's psychological motivations.
    However, I shall argue that this is a rather limited model, paying as it does,
    overwhelming attention to the content of the artwork and the inner world of the artist.
    This view is supplemented, however, by Freud's (1905) theory of the joke-mechanism and its
    relationship to his account of the primary and secondary processes<B>.</B> </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.human-nature.com/free-associations/glover/chap1.html">relationship between the joke-mechanism
