"This
is perhaps the part of Freud's theory from which you dissent most
strongly. Freud says that as soon as you enter the intimate life
of a patient you begin to find sex in some form. In fact, the best
indication of abnormality would be its absence. Sex is one of the
strongest of human impulses, yet the one subjected to the greatest
repression. For that reason it is the weakest point in our
cultural development. In a normal life, he says, there are no
neuroses. Let me proceed now with what the Freudists call the
psychanalysis, the soul analysis, of Mrs. Maitland."
It was startling in the extreme to consider the possibilities to
which this new science might lead, as he proceeded to illustrate
it.
"Mrs. Maitland," he continued, "your dream of fear was a dream of
what we call the fulfilment of a suppressed wish. Moreover, fear
always denotes a sexual idea underlying the dream. In fact, morbid
anxiety means surely unsatisfied love. The old Greeks knew it. The
gods of fear were born of the goddess of love.
