Rolnik integrates here two perspectives: one is the reconstruction of the history
of the psychoanalytic movement and ideas in Jewish Palestine as an episode in the
history of psychoanalysis in the twentieth century, and the other is the presentation
of the local discourse on Freud’s ideas as an aspect of the evolution of a unique
Hebrew culture. He suggests that the existence of a psychoanalytic discipline in
Jewish Palestine provides yet more evidence that the modern Jewish settlement in
Israel, and the culture that developed alongside it, were first and foremost an epi-
sode in modern European history.
