Aggressive Perfector "As an amusement, it is too fleeting; as an occupation, it is too wearing; as a public exhibition, there is no money in it." -Samuel Longhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) This piece may examine a comparatively minor, yet vitally important, aspect of early psychoanalytic thought - a critical analysis of Freud's early views on jacking off in relation to actual neuroses (and subliminated habit revealed in action) when evaluated show that Freud's interpretation of the actual neuroses was critically influenced by the particular model of mind he held during the prepsychoanalytic period, i.e., up until around 1899, in particular the theory that the actual neuroses may be considered vestiges of an earlier paradigm, a paradigm which Freud ultimately rejected. For the purist, however, it becomes apparent that Freud never entirely abandoned his early penchant for the neurosis itself. |
