He's DA BOMB ... and he dropped da bomb when he published his ideas re. infant sexuality during the Victorian age. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Actually, there are those who claim that Freud single-handedly managed to offend every person on the planet with his ideas/theories.
Perhaps ...A psychiatrist I had during the 1980s was analyzed by Robert Fliess, son of Wilhelm Fliess, Freud's
suspected homosexual buddy. This doctor told me that Bobby had one hell of a case of Tourette's Syndrome and was given to
episodes of extreme animation and filthy language during a session.
Interesting ...Best general book on Freud: "A Life for Our Time," by Yale historian Peter Gay.
Also look into the scandal with Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson and Janet Malcolm.
