s man vowed to repay a man for an expense that he paid on his behalf. When he attempted to reimburse the man for his expense, he refused to take it saying that it was an insignificant expense and should not worry about it. This put the man in a conflict since he made a personal vow to himself that he must repay this man otherwise his father will expire.Now, it is obvious that this man has issues, and psychological problems that require a lot of counseling and therapy. The only real problem here is his erroneous belief that his father would die if he were to make a wrong decision or act inappropriately. Basically, that his behavior could spontaneously cause the death of his father. However, I would hardly consider the abhorrence and disgust toward that form of torture the basis of an innate sexual desire. The man had not witnessed this torture; it was just described to him in his adulthood, by an adult. Freud also mentions in this case that as a child, his governesses included him in sexual behavior, such as touching their genitalia, and looking at them. Now, we would all consider this inappropriate for a child, and is probably the basis for his fears of doing something inappropriate lest his father die. Where the rat comes in, and how it ties in with wanted to be penetrated by his father seems completely absurd, and frankly, atrocious.It hardly makes sense that hard-core Freudian theory would be good therapy for this person, as it does not seem to be likely. Even if you accept that it was a particularly sexually suppressive society, it does not warrant, sexual deviant behavior. Therefore, it would seem more plausible for this person, if he were to exist in the present, to go for neo-Freudian therapy, in the least.All the factors present seem to agree with the ideas that childhood trauma are the basis for errant behavior and/or beliefs in adults. The neo-Freudian therapist would not go so deep, or even at all, into a sexual a...
