Abstract

|
|
Freud had suffered from many complicated relationships with his intimate surroundings. Although he maintained an uniquely calm attitude, it seemed to be his own defensive style all through his life. Nowadays we are taught that our inner object relations affect the object relationships, in other words interpersonal relationships comprehensibly. At this point, I reviewed the early life history of Freud, and their unavoidable effects on his later various interpersonal relationships. In my viewpoint, Freud showed basic affect of hunger, narcissistic grandiose self with very strict and some harsh superego, obsessive self-doubting, somewhat paranoid tendency, suppressed rage and anger including many neurotic symptoms. All his characteristics above mentioned seem to be the result from his early life experiences and his very complicated family structure. I suppose that he might have been very confused by family secret early in life, and therefore he seemed to be forced to solve a riddle like Oedipus who answered right to Sphinx’s riddle. Confusing questions from his early years were: old father and young mother, father-like two half brothers, his contemporary nephew and niece as playmates, early caring by Czech nursemaid in substitute for mother, and another 3rd mother image on Emanuel’s wife Marie, early death of his real younger brother Julius, sibling jealousy by a birth of his younger sister Anna etc. I suspect that these early object relations had an influence on his later complicated interpersonal relationships.
