Example text

An elderly waiter with trembling hands was hurriedly spreading a pink and white checked cloth over the rusty green iron table, saying: 'If the lady and gentleman wish to take their tea in the garden, if the lady and gentleman wish to take their tea in the garden .. ' I decided that if the shaking of her breasts could be stopped, some of the fragments of the afternoon might be collected, and I concentrated my attention with careful subtlety to this end.

Thus Freud reinstates a sexual causation of hysteria; but psychological, not organic; or rather, given his nineteenthcentury scientific training and intellectual situation, Freud regarded the sexual as able to provide psychology with a physiological and biological base. The therapeutic technique and understanding is purely psychological but the sexual aetiology of hysteria links mind and matter, roots the psychological in the organic-since 'no one will be inclined to deny the sexual function the character of an organic function'.
