That Freud’s attention was directed first of all to the sexual instincts was due to his early work being with hysteria and obses sional neurosis, whose basis he saw as a conflict over sexuality. ‘In the course of investigating the neuroses we came to know the ego as the restricting and repressing power and the sexual trends as the restricted and repressed one; we therefore believed that we had clear evidence not only of the difference between the two groups of instincts but also of the conflict between them.
79. 4 In discussing instinctual vicissitudes he comes to the problem of the relationship between love and hate, which, he concludes, are not to be thought of as instincts, but as affects, or attitudes of the ego. ) ‘. . ’5 Freud distinguishes various antitheses concerning loving and hating.

The constitutional sexual disposition of children is incomparably more variegated than might have been expected . . it deserves to be described as “ polymorphously perverse” and . . what is spoken of as the normal behaviour of the sexual function emerges from this disposi tion after certain of its components have been repressed .
