17
Freud was inevitably faced from the outset as a therapist, and with the greatest displeasure, with the raw matter of ribaldry – the sexual representation suggested by speech – manifesting a massive denial of its uncontrollable embarrassing effects. Thus it took him no less than a decade – aided by his self-analysis – to be able to measure the instinctual issues involved, and to apprehend the singular nature of sexual jokes with their irrepressible depictive power that makes them so troubling, while leaving one of his spiritual sons, Sándor Ferenczi, rthe task of theorising them.
