- What is one to say?
- Well, every child has anxiety.

1:06:13
I mean, we're just not willing
to accept anxiety anymore.

1:06:15
Freud... I think it was Freud...
dates all anxiety back to the birth trauma.

1:06:19
Rank too.
1:06:25
- Was I breast-fed or bottle-fed?
- Sullivan.

1:06:28
Sullivan writes about
the significance of powerlessness.

1:06:29
Sullivan writes about
the significance of powerlessness.

1:06:31
It's years since
I've looked at Sullivan.

1:06:34
Doesn't Sullivan also
have something to say...

1:06:37
it could be Adler,
but I think it's Sullivan...

1:06:41
about the dynamism of apathy?
1:06:44
Dynamism of apathy.
That's a wonderful phrase.

1:06:47
The magical power of the cry.
1:06:49
You see, what Sullivan is saying
is that the cry brings help...

1:06:53
which leads to the correction
of the condition which led to the cry.

1:06:58
Was I difficult to toilet train?
1:07:00
- Uh, Klein.
- Klein speaks of the coupling
of early Oedipus wishes...

1:07:05
with the fear of castration.
1:07:07
The child's desire
to possess the mother's feces.

1:07:10
I mean, it's the anal-sadistic stage.
1:07:12
Ah. Sphincter-morality.
1:07:15
Ferenczi's phrase.
1:07:17
Ferenczi?
1:07:25
- Was I subject to temper tantrums?
- Uh...

1:07:29
"A tendency in boys to express
excessive aggression..."

1:07:34
"Originates in his fear
of castration."

1:07:36
"And coincides with the boy's protest
against the feminine role...

1:07:40
"rooted also in his...
1:07:42
[Both]
Dread ofhis mother..."

1:07:44
"Who he intends to rob
ofhis father's penis."

1:07:50
Was I a good or bad eater?
1:07:52
Uh, food.
1:07:55
I don't remember.
