I fear that I have not made myself as clear as I should and as I should like to, but at the risk of being misunderstood, or of not carrying the reader with me in my argument, I shall not enter into any further discussion of this aspect the wider meanings of Dr. Coriat's paper. As can be judged from the above remarks, it was no surprise to me to see such a paper on stuttering as Dr. Coriat's.
Isador N. Coriat's book, "The Repression of Emotions" deals with the subject from psychoanalytic. point of view. I have said but little on other emotions, on admiration, surprise and awe. This group of affective states is of great importance. Surprise may be either agreeable or disagreeable and is our reaction to the unexpected.
Coriat's views so fully and quoted him so much at length in order that there may not be any question of the absolute accuracy of my statements. What does this mean to the one who has followed the trail of the Freudian movement? The meaning is plain. It is like the handwriting on the wall. Dr.
I shall confine myself to the question of the application to stammering of the sexual theories so rampant in Freudism. Besides, I shall avail myself of the privilege of giving, in Dr. Coriat's own words, the gist of his theory or concept.
This last-mentioned method is probably the most desirable of the three methods which have been here mentioned. And it is the method which I shall follow in this criticism of Dr. Coriat's paper, because, among other reasons, I believe it is the fairest to all concerned. It is not my purpose to take up for discussion the various statements, made by Dr.
Coriat and the Freudian school in general, than his or their say-so. I could discuss Dr. Coriat's paper from many angles, and in each case show that its conclusions were not only unsupported but impossible. But in the above remarks I have presented sufficient evidence, I believe, to carry out the objects of this criticism. The ideas in the paper are, in fact, absurd.
Coriat's paper should be sternly discountenanced. Nay more, they should be unflinchingly denied and even severely condemned. I, for one, protest vigorously against the propagation of such views, especially when they represent nothing more than an inflated theory. The writer wishes to assure Dr. Coriat and the reader that his remarks are intended in a thoroughly impersonal sort of way.
With this beginning Dr. Hence, the hesitation in speech arises and as the repressed thoughts gradually are forced into the unconscious, there finally develops the defective speech automatism, either stammering or a spastic aphonia. This arises in childhood after the child has learned to speak." Words in parentheses mine but taken from Dr. Coriat's paper; for explanatory purposes.
Coriat, but since, so far as I knew, no paper along this line had appeared in the English or American journals, I did not give the subject any serious or special consideration and had not the slightest idea of refuting the statements. When, however, Dr. Coriat's paper appeared, I concluded that it was not out of place for me at this time to enter into a criticism of these views.
The question of sincerity and honesty of purpose is not at all breathed. It is purely a matter of "What is the truth?" And it shall be my object in the following brief discussion not to give my personal views upon this subject, nor even to dissect each and every statement in Dr. Coriat's paper with which I find myself at issue, but merely to show wherein Dr. Coriat is in most serious error.
