SIGMUND FREUD'S CHILDHOOD

"My life is interesting only if is related to Psychoanalysis", Freud said, giving thus us to understand that the events of his Biography are not interesting in a Biographer's view, but just his activity on the realm of Psychoanalysis. But a different reading of this assertion suggests us something else: The fact that applying Freud's method to the study of the biographical events could bring forward another biography, which less care about the "BIOGRAPHICAL TRUTH", but particularly cares about the meaning and significance of the biographical events in the light of Freud's discoveries, among which we should first of all mention "OEDIPUS COMPLEX". With Octave Mannoni's words: " The confessions Freud made about his youth are like a derived product of his discovery". (O.Mannoni "Freud", Du Seuil, 1968)
