Question

Do you think that Freud becoming sexually active with his nanny at the age of eleven and his addiction to cocaine influenced his theories in any manner?

Answer 1

According to me, the above statement that Freud becoming sexually active with his nanny at the age of eleven and his addiction to cocaine may have influenced his theories in some manner.

As per my point of view, what a person discovers or excavates has some connections to his experience and way of living. Experience and living the facts, in reality, makes it possible for the person to think about the situation in a more concrete way. It may be the chance that only because he had experienced an attachment or sexual attraction towards his nanny that he came to the conclusion that the children of that particular age go through such a phase. His own experience about sexual attraction with his granny and the intake of cocaine has a major effect on his theories.
