Freud and the Polymorphous Perverse

Freud's radical rethinking of sexuality challenges the traditional notion of it as merely a biological instinct aimed at reproduction. This essay explores the distinctive features and advantages of Freud's perspective on polymorphous perverse infantile sexuality. It also examines the insights provided by the clinical study of 'Little Hans,' contributing to a deeper understanding of Freudian theory and its implications for personality psychology. The analysis highlights the complexities of human sexuality beyond biological determinism.
