My thoughts are these...This subject fascinates me. My thoughts are these:<br /><br />-although sex is a powerful force, I don't know that it's as dominant or prevalent a driving force in our behaviour as Freud believed. I also think he gave far too much credence to his Oedipal Complex theory than actually bears weight<br /><br />-these can be dangerous waters to tread. It takes an acutely trained mind to determine which events a patient recounts actually happened. The mind can be easily influenced whether intentionally or not and someone in therapy, while in a mentally and emotionally fragile state, can be easily led to believe they've experienced a traumatic event which never actually occurred.<br /><br />Since we're somewhat on the subject, if you're interested in the psychology of sex I recommend the book, "Why Women Have Sex" by Cindy M. Meston, phD and David M. Buss, phD. It's a study of 1,000 women conducted over the course of five years. I finished it recently and can say it's easily the most fascinating book I've ever read.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04641761671561288846noreply@blogger.com
