“Freud, it could be speculated, was “in denial” regarding the issue of sexual seduction in his own personal life, so he could not be receptive to having the issue of seduction be an integral part of psychoanalytic theory and method. If it is correct that Freud was the victim of early childhood seduction by a nursemaid (Krull, 1986), he did not retrieve this experience in his selfanalysis.”
