This paper will take the theoretical position; that the whole of Freudian theory is best contemplated in terms of childhood development/socialization. Moreover, an even enterprising position is that once examined, this crucial and fundamental part of Freud's endeavor, as well as psychoanalytic theory as a whole, can only be further explicated in terms of critiques. In other words, any "in-depth examination" of Freudian theory must include a large portion of critical material. Therefore, this paper will present an understanding of Freudian childhood issues, followed by a set of critiques of Freudian thought. 20 pgs. 41 f/c. 15b.
