|
The author introduced professor Sung Hi Kim’s life and works who thought to be the first Korean psychoanalyst. He met the Freud’s psychoanalysis in the book of ’Interpretation of Dreams’ when he was a medical student in his early twenties, late 1930s. He had the chance of psychiatric training in Sendai Imperial University Hospital in Japan with professor Marui who was one of the students of Professor Adolf Meyer and also one of the founders of the Japanese Psychoanalytic Society. In the beginning of training, professor Marui suggested Dr. Sung Hi Kim the personal analysis which was 6 times a week, 60 minutes a session using couch. The analysis was terminated 3 months later. And Dr. Sung Hi Kim had didactic training of psychoanalytic theory with Dr. Kosawa Heisaku in Tokyo every week. Dr. Kosawa is another founder of the Japanese Psychoanalytic Society. In 1952, just after the Korean War, professor Sung Hi Kim established psychiatric department of Chonnam National University Medical School in Gwangju Korea. Unfortunately, he could not have contact with international psychoanalytic association due to social chaos by the Korean War and political revolutions in Korea. He, however, taught and practiced the psychoanalysis in the university sincerely for 24 years as a professor until 1976. Professor Kim appreciated Freud’s papers recommendation to the physician practicing psychoanalysis(1912)’ the most. He told that only the man who experienced the essence of mind as free floating attention could write it. Freud himself experienced it. Professor Kim translated the paper into Korean. He strongly insisted only free association, no interpretation. Sometimes analysts’ interpretation may analysands’ association. It could induce provoked association. Professor Kim assumed a critical attitude toward Freud’s structural theory. The structural theory may confine human mind to narrow frame of theory. It is common nature of western people to try to analyze a phenomenon and to make a theoretical frame. Professor Kim told the author that as one of the western people, Freud also could not avoid the nature of western people. Therefore, Professor Kim stayed at free association of topographical model. Professor Kim passed away last December 31, 2003.
