Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex
Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex is A. A. Brill's translation of Sigmund Freud's Drei Abhandlungen zur Sexualtheorie, first published in 1905 and revised by Freud in later editions. It is the central statement of his theory of sexual development. The first essay examines the sexual aberrations, arguing that the perversions reveal components present in everyone. The second, the most controversial, describes infantile sexuality: the oral, anal and genital phases, the latency period and the child's sexual curiosity. The third treats the transformations of puberty, the finding of an object and the differences between men and women. Freud's claim that sexual life begins in infancy and shapes adult character and neurosis was received with outrage and became the foundation of psychoanalysis. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
