Hysterics suffer mainly from

reminiscences.

no hysterical symptom can arise from

a real experience alone, but that in
every case the memory of earlier
experiences awakened in association
to it
plays a part in causing the symptom.
Whatever case and whatever symptom we take as our point of
departure, in the end we infallibly come to the field of sexual experience
I therefore put forward the thesis that at the bottom of every case of
hysteria there are one or more occurrences of premature sexual experience,
occurrences which belong to the earliest years of childhood but which
can be reproduced through the work of psychoanalysis in spite of the
intervening decades. I believe that this is an important finding, the
discovery of a caput Nili [source of the Nile] in neuropathology.

Freud became more and more convinced that the chief characteristic
of the neurotic person was lack of a normal sex life and that sexual
satisfaction was the key to happiness. This implied that the healthy
person was fully able to discharge the tensions caused by his or her
sexual impulses in repeated, satisfying orgasm, thus recurrently
experiencing the state of tensionless Nirvana referred to above.

A formula begins to take shape which lays it down that the sexuality of
neurotics has remained in, or been brought back to, an infantile state.
(SE, VII.172)

Freud pictured the infants sexuality as polymorphously perverse: that

is, as diffusely composed of component instincts which at first are
separate tendencies, but which finally coalesce at a later stage to form
the adult sexual drive. Among these component instincts are sadistic
and masochistic impulses, homosexual interests, exhibitionistic and
voyeuristic tendencies, and fetishistic preoccupations. Traces of all these
components can be found in the normal person, but they are
particularly emphasized in neurotics.
neuroses are, so to say, the negative of perversions.

philosophy.

As Jung is supposed to have remarked, After all, the

penis is only a phallic symbol.
We have already observed that Freud, at least in the early stages of his
thought, was more concerned with the childs relation with the father
than with its relation with the mother. Moreover, the father was also
portrayed as authoritarian and severe; the source of prohibitions and
threats; and the origin of what later became called the super-ego.
Modern research supports Freuds idea of a stage of male development
in which the boy feels rivalry with the father; but indicates that the
boys subsequent identification with the father is not identification with
the aggressor but because the father makes friendly, loving overtures.
As Fisher and Greenberg put it:
It would appear that he [the boy] gives up his acute competitive stance
vis--vis father because father transmits friendly positive messages
inviting him to join up rather than fight . . . He invites his son to draw
close, to form an alliance, to adopt his identity, and to accept his values
(p. 222).

Men who continue to perceive women chiefly or partly as

mothers may, therefore, regard them as potentially dangerous as well as
sexually attractive; and this perception is likely to cause a variety of
sexual difficulties, including turning away from women altogether,
partial or complete impotence, or the need for reassuring devices like
sadomasochistic rituals or fetishes before intercourse is possible.
Various details of the Oedipal theory are open to question, but the
general outline stands as powerfully explanatory of a variety of sexual
difficulties and ways of behaving which had previously appeared
inexplicable

It is the dark, inaccessible part of our personality; what little we know of
it we have learnt from our study of the dream-work and of the
construction of neurotic symptoms, and most of that is of a negative
character and can be described only as a contrast to the ego. We
approach the id with analogies: we call it a chaos, a cauldron full of
seething excitations . . . It is filled with energy reaching it from the
instincts, but it has no organization, produces no collective will, but only
a striving to bring about the satisfaction of instinctive needs subject to
the observance of the pleasure principle.

As indicated in Freuds description, the id is governed only by

the most basic, primitive principle of mental dynamics: avoidance
of unpleasure caused by instinctual tension, which can only be
achieved by satisfaction of instinctual needs accompanied by
pleasure.
It is characteristic of Freuds predominantly pessimistic view of human
nature that the so-called pleasure principle, upon which so much of his
thought depends, is much more concerned with the avoidance of pain
than with the pursuit of pleasure
