The Danger Of The Fetzer Assassination School

[Lauren Johnson]

Fetzer is nuts. He reminds me of the women Freud examined who were sure their father had raped them.

Albert,

There is plenty of statement is false. My source: Trauma and Recovery: The aftermath of vioence--from domestic abuse to political abuse to political terror by Judith Herman, M.D. In Freud's The Aetiology of Hysteria, he acknowledges its traumatic origins of hysteria caused by premature sexual experience. He in fact was researching what we now call PTSD. He soon rejected his own research when he realized its implication: he would have to confront, alone, entrenched social reality.

Hysteria was so common among women that if his patients' stories were true, and if his theory were correct, he would be forced to conclude that what he call "perverted acts against children" were endemic, not only of the proletariat of Paris, where he had first studied hysteria, but also among the respectable bourgeois families of Vienna, where he had established his practice. This idea was simply unacceptable. It was beyond credibility. Faced with dilemma, Freud stopped listening to his female patients.... Out of the ruins of the traumatic theory of hysteria, Freud created psychoanalysis. The dominant psychological theory of the century was founded in the denial of women's reality. (emphasis added)

Think about it. The entire edifice of the psychoanalysis, the repression of of our sexuality, and its consequent reaction formation was a lie based on a more or less conscious decision to identify with the perpetrator of child rape.

Oh yah, Fetzer is nuts. No denial there. Ironically, who knows maybe he indeed was traumatized as a child.
