ABSTRACT
Now that the excitement following the inundation of psychoanalysis has died down and the clinical territories most affected have been once more built up and restocked, it is interesting to witness the changes wrought in different quarters as a result of the general havoc to habitual prepossessions. The theory of psychoanalysis rests on the conception that nervous disorders are the substitutive manifestation of a repressed sexual life; its basic position is that this substitutive factor is responsible for neurotic processes and that it is the sexual impulse for which recourse is sought in the process of substitution. The modern substitutions existing under the name of sexuality, whether repressed or indulged, are but a symptom of this organic denial of the inherent life of man. Sexuality is not only utterly unrelated to sex, but it is intrinsically exclusive of sex.
