N2 - In Ferenczi's idea of identification with an aggressor we can distinguish two sides. One is what we might call an interactive tactic or a social strategy, which is used in upsetting or unbalanced relations of power in order to forestall lack of control, fear, and the like. This is the side that is explored in great detail by Jay Frankel. The other side consists in a intrapsychic change, which flows from severe trauma. The specific effects of the latter are described by Ferenczi as dissociation/fragmentation of the personality, sequestering of the trauma, emotional abandonment, and isolation. Elsewhere, Ferenczi refers to this as a form of psychic self-mutilation.

N2 - Emma Eckstein's circumcision trauma has been powerfully suppressed, denied, and dissociated from the history of the origins of psychoanalysis. Even though Freud did not categorize it as a trauma, he was deeply impacted by it in the period when he provided psychoanalysis with his foundation. Despite Freud's intellectual erasure of the trauma that Emma experienced, her >cut< never ceased to unconsciously break through Freud's fantasies and discourse, haunting the psychoanalytic building as a veritable ghost. Sándor Ferenczi became the recipient of what Freud could not consider in his own mind, and his revision of the >Bausteine< (building blocks) of psychoanalysis featured an attempt to heal the split embedded in the foundation of psychoanalysis.

N2 - Did young Freud face the horrors of little girls’ circumcision in pediatric wards? Did Freud refuse to have his sons ritually circumcised? Did Emma Eckstein, Freud’s main female patient in the course of the foundation of psychoanalysis, endure a circumcision when she was a girl? The author discusses these three controversial issues and suggests how they can help to rethink the origins of psychoanalysis. Erasing Emma Eckstein’s circumcision as a traumatic life event, Freud uprooted the birth of psychoanalysis from the ground of history, jeopardizing the possibility of Freud’s biographers and scholars providing a consistent account of his early discoveries. Yet, despite all distortions, it is still possible to restore significant connections between key historical events, from which an intrinsic legitimacy of psychoanalysis emerges, jointly with a different narration.
