Blog: http://psychreviews.org/war-sigmund-freud/ During WWI, Sigmund Freud was able to stew over his theories, some early criticisms, but he also took stock of the Great War that interrupted everyone's lives. The life that people once new, in what was called the British Peace, the long peace that lasted 100 years, was over. Lives were uprooted, but there was also a lot of optimism on each side. There was a sense of adventure, until one faced reality and saw what adventure really was like.

Blog: http://psychreviews.org/sexuality-part-2-infantile-sexuality From birth to puberty, the sexual development of children is already beginning, which was counter to the prevailing thought at the time that puberty was the beginning of sexual development. For Freud, the late 19th century and its repressions lead to all kinds of psychological problems in the early 20th century, especially ignorance of infantile sexuality. "One feature of the popular view of the sexual instinct is that it is absent in childhood and only awakens in the period of life described as puberty. This, however, is not merely a simple error but one that has had grave consequences, for it is mainly to this idea that we owe our present ignorance of the fundamental conditions of sexual life."
