"This episode relates how Freud abandoned the idea that hysteria was caused by childhood abuse and implicated the power of fantasy and wishes, forces hidden from conscious awareness. He began to analyze himself, and discovered, in part by analyzing his own dreams, an inner rivalry with his father and long-submerged feelings of passion for his mother. He came to believe that such deep-seated emotional conflicts are powerful and likely universal - a theory that became the basis of the now-famous "Oedipus complex." Concluding that dreams were the gateway to understanding the unconscious mind, Freud threw himself into the creation of a seminal work on the subject, The Interpretation of Dreams."@en
""Still wrestling with his own demons and isolated from his colleagues, Freud reluctantly abandons the idea that hysteria is caused by childhood abuse. Instead he implicates the power of fantasy and wishes, forces hidden away from conscious awareness. To better understand his patients and to alleviate his own suffering, Freud begins to analyze himself, and discovers, in part by analyzing his own dreams, an inner rivalry with his father, and long submerged feelings of passion for his mother. He comes to believe that such deep-seated emotional conflicts are powerful and likely universal - a theory which becomes the basis of the now-famous "Oedipal Complex." Concluding that dreams are the gateway to understanding the unconscious mind, Freud throws himself into the creation of a seminal work on the subject, The Interpretation of Dreams, which would forever alter our conception of the human mind."--Container."
