The First English Edition
A well kept book providing illumination on a difficult subject
The Question of Lay Analysis is a 1926 book by Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, advocating the right of non-doctors, or ‘lay’ people, to be psychoanalysts. It was written in response to Theodore Reik’s being prosecuted for being a non-medical, or lay, analyst in Austria.
It is in this book that Freud compares the sexual life of adult women to a “dark continent”:
We know less about the sexual life of little girls than of boys. But we need not feel ashamed of this distinction; after all, the sexual life of adult females is a dark continent [original in English] for psychology.
