What Happened
to. Influence
Of Freud?
BY GILBERT SELDES

Every six months or so I
worry over what happened to
Sigmund Freud. Privately, I
understand, he lives still in
Vienna, but it is possible, Of
course, that I missed the news
papers for a few days and am
wrong even in this. I worry
about his public life. his influ-
ence, his prestige. For is years
ago there was probably no
single individual with whose
name a more potent magic was
associated. And today? Today,
you hear Of him in musical
shows.
It is a queer thing Freud, as
manhandled by disciples who
knew very little about him, gave
the greatest encouragement to
people to worry about them
selves; and during the past four
years, when people had a spe.
cific thing to worry about
their money-Freud has dwin-
died as a popular idol. You
could worry about your love
life and your complexes in the
boom days; but depreSSions
knocked out inhibitions. We
were all, suddenly, engulfed in
q great public worry.
Freud VS.. Marx
I have felt for a long time
that Freud was the great
enemy Of Marx, although I be-
lieve that disciples of each say
the contrary. I understand that
Freud is not exactly an ad-
mirer of the system of war and
profit, but I cannot see how a
good MARKHAM can bother about
such private things as the
Oedipus complex. Who, the
state can say to us, who are
you to worry about your pri-
Vate life while a great public
wrong continues? Go out and
work for the dictatorship of
the proletariat and forget your
infantile dreams.
Dreams, of course, are the
first thing you associate with
Freud, and dreams are the
enemy of the new society. They
are too private. The day dream
Of making a great deal Of
money may continue for
generation even in Russia; but
the practical business is to
build another power plant. In
the first years of the Soviets,
sex was much belittled and
1ovesicknesS was considered, I
understand, an offense to the
state. I never heard of young
Russian lovers incoming about
in the Red Square or pledging
unalterable faith in the shadow
Of Lenin's tomb.
remember a Frenchman
laughing at Freud (even in the
good rich days. and saying that
he was just the sort of explorer
of souls that Teuton and Anglo.
Saxon neurotics would care for;
he implied that French people
were never neurotic. But he
didn't foresee that as soon as
people transferred their worries
to another field-in which every
individuals troubles were ex.
actly the same as all the others
the neurotics would be re.
moved from the center of in.
tereSt.
Maybe it isn't logical, but it
does seem to be true that an eco.
nomic crisis has driven our pri.
vate hysterias from us. Good
psychoanalysts, I am sure, look
forward to new complexes as
soon as we recover-and have
time to think sadly about our.
selves.

his wife do is perfectly all right

My mother can find so many little
faults in my husband. She thinks
OF him as a child. Sometimes she

mistake in moving in with your
mother in the first place. Wouldn't
it be better to rent the house and
supplement the income by cash
amounts to be divided between
yourself and your brother? Per-
haps this would call for more
financial sacrifice, but it would re-
pay you in peace and harmony.
After your mother got used to
the idea, I imagine she would be
happier in a room Of her own
than in a pickering household. 1t
would be cruel and unnecessary to
ignore her entirely, but you should
find a way to keep her outside
your own home for the good of
everybody. Probably she never
will be entirely satisfied in any
situation. 1t narrows down to a
choice between evils.
