Three Contributions To The Theory Of Sex

Freud's exploration of human sexuality delves into three pivotal areas: the psychological roots of sexual perversions, the role of infantile sexuality in personal development, and the transformations experienced during puberty. He challenges traditional views by asserting that sexual urges begin in infancy and evolve, shaping adult behavior. By analyzing deviations like homosexuality and fetishism, Freud emphasizes their psychological origins. This work significantly influences contemporary understanding of sexuality and identity, maintaining its relevance in psychology and sociology.
