Key Notes
He models Patroclus and Achilles as internally layered actors, directors, and producers: emotion, calculation, and long-term strategy operate simultaneously inside each person.
Jiang says early Freud found that many young women's depression, anxiety, and relational symptoms traced to childhood sexual abuse, often by fathers or trusted adults.
The Etiology of Hysteria is presented as early Freud's strong scientific claim that sexual trauma is pathogenic and more common in respected families than people suspected.
Jeffrey Masson is introduced as a Freud follower who later found a sharp break between early Freud, who believed women, and later Freud.
Jiang says early Freud believed psychoanalysis could recover real childhood sexual trauma through talk therapy and that belief/advocacy helped patients heal.
Early Freud considered but rejected the objection that doctors were implanting false memories, saying he had not succeeded in forcing expected scenes onto patients.
Jiang says Freud then allies with the Frankists and radically changes how he interprets patients.
