The Confusion of Tongues: The Primacy of Sexuality In Freud, Ferenczi, and Laplanche by Philippe Van Haute and Tomas Geyskens Ne (original) (raw)

This paper explores the evolution of the concept of sexuality in psychoanalysis through the lenses of Freud, Ferenczi, and Laplanche. It examines the inconsistencies in Freud's theories about sexuality and the implications for understanding subjectivity, particularly the relationship between infantile sexuality, trauma, and seduction. The authors argue for the necessity of integrating psychoanalytic clinical insights with cultural and neurological developments to create a more coherent understanding of human psychology.
