This we know from the Freudian standpoint is impossible. The heterosexual adaptation is but apparent. DR. TRIGANT BURROW, Baltimore: In regard to Dr Putnam's comment that my thesis contains what has been said already by Freud. Undoubtedly to a large extent it has.

In C.P.'s case that symbolism arises from the experience of an abnormal heterosexual relationship; in A.N.'s case it is founded on auto-erotic experiences associated with inversion; in both alike the entire symbolism has become diffused and generalized. In the two cases just brought forward we have an erotic symbolism of act founded on, and closely associated with, an erotic symbolism of object.

I pass over as out of the range of this book the question raised by Freud, whether or not we are all of us homosexual as well as heterosexual. The sex desires and instincts struggle with, overcome or harmonize with the social instincts. It would be impossible to portray even the simplest sex life from the mental standpoint.

The aggression towards the father is a frequent female symbolization in hysteria as well. DR. TRIGANT BURROW, Baltimore: It seems to me that the President's reference to this heterosexual instance need not necessarily be heterosexual in a psychological sense.
