In \u003ci\u003eFreud: The Making of an Illusion \u003c\/i\u003e(2017), Frederick Crews writes: \"In the ... engagement letters, we see Freud was already experiencing a problem that he would one day ascribe to all men: an inability, held over from early childhood, to reconcile female sexuality with maternal purity and devotion. His bride was supposed to arrive intact, submissive, and sexually ignorant, but also to reciprocate a lust that he hoped would outlast the honeymoon. Yet she was also expected to coddle him as her indulged son. That role, in Freud’s estimation, was a woman’s highest calling. As he would put it in 1933, 'Even a marriage is not made secure until the wife has succeeded in making her husband her child as well and in acting as a mother to him.' \" According to Crews, Freud shows a need to shape his fiancée into \"a properly deferential mate,\" even telling her that \"you are only a guest in your family, like a gem that I have pawned and that I am going to redeem as soon as I am rich.\"\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093660422303,"sku":"17748","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Freud_Analysis_17748_01.jpg?v=1722189511","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/17748-freud-sigmund-autograph-psychological-analysis-signed","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
