In this paper, the author describes an 8-week introductory course she has cotaught for the past 5 years at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. As a kind of \u201cFreud aperitivo course,\u201d it gives candidates something to nibble on to stimulate the appetite for depth and to stomach difficulties that arise. The rationale for such a course is based on Freud\u2019s ability and process in discovering psychoanalysis and the unconscious. Candidates can witness Freud\u2019s persistence in his highly stirring discoveries, finding clues within himself to guide him in discovering the unconscious and the universal. As candidates embark on their own stirring, anxiety-provoking processes of analytic discovery, they are invited to identify with Freud\u2019s pleasure in uncovering, to enable them to become a group capable of psychoanalytic learning. Next, the author walks the reader through what this course has to offer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00030651261418032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,27]],"date-time":"2026-02-27T16:14:03Z","timestamp":1772208843000},"page":"559-582","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Unwrapping the Psychoanalytic Education; On Orienting Candidates with Freud"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"74","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-3253-2108","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel","family":"McBride","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rachel McBride, Private practice, Brookline, Massachusetts; Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute; and Member, American Psychoanalytic Association\u2019s How to Teach Freud Committee"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","first-page":"255","volume-title":"The standard edition of the complete psychological works of Sigmund Freud, Vol. 4 (1900): The interpretation of dreams (I)","author":"Freud S.","year":"1953","unstructured":"Freud S.
