CHAPTER 12

The Spiritual Trend in Psychoanalysis

Finally, I want to emphasize the enormous importance of “description by the opposite,” which was discovered by Freud, for the development of delusions. A particularly important instance of this is the description of sexual activity by death symbolism. The reason for this phenomenon is, as I see it, within the character of the sexual act itself, or, to put it more clearly, in the two antagonistic components of sexuality.
