| description | Freud saw two young women, Katharina and Margarethe, as patients. One was at the start, and one was at the end, of his working life as an analyst. In both single sessions, sexuality was the key area that needed addressing, consciously and unconsciously. Both had experienced trauma. In each case Freud affirmed them as an individual adult person who could acknowledge their sexuality. In the case of Margarethe, where we have more details available, Freud encouraged her to make sexuality an inclusive part of her nature, beginning with a kiss on the cinema screen. He accepted her for who she was, including powerful sexual undercurrents, and this enabled her to feel trans-formed. |
