'A crucial turning point in the development of psychoanalysis was Freud's rejection of his original "seduction theory," which held that neurosis resulted from sexual seductionat an early age....With meticulous historical research and persuasive use of the theories of family systems, Dr. Krull reveals the forces that dictated Freud's rejection of his original theory. The solution to the mystery...lies in Freud's tangled relationship with his father. It was in attempting to honor his father by not looking too closely into his past that Freud transferred the main responsibility for neurosis from the parents to the inescapable, universal process of psychic development.'
