ABSTRACT
Sigmund Freud’s observations on the emotional changes in the child during the adaptations to the adult code of cleanliness led him to the signal discovery that an important part of the character of the individual is formed during this process. The real traumas during the adaptation of the family to the child happen in its transitional stages from the earliest primitive childhood to civilization, not only from the point of view of cleanliness, but from the point of view of sexuality. One often hears people saying that Freud bases everything on sexuality, which is quite untrue. He speaks of the conflict between egoistic and sexual tendencies, and even holds that the former are the stronger. Freud called psycho-analysis a kind of re-education of the individual, but things seem to develop in such a way that education will have more to learn from psycho-analysis than psycho-analysis from education.
