In 1935, Sigmund Freud reassured a mother that her son's suspected homosexuality was not an illness or a cause for shame, emphasizing the need for understanding over conversion.
Mark Solms highlights that the newly released Revised Standard Edition of Freud's works not only expands access to his writings but also reintroduces crucial insights into human sexuality.
Freud's perspective on sexuality, expressed in the new edition, emphasizes that psychoanalysis aims to alleviate distress rather than enforce conforming identities.
The notion of translation is central to Freud’s work, as it bridges the unconscious and conscious thoughts, allowing for a deeper understanding of identity and distress.
