1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Repression of the Libido and the Moon's Influence. By M. DeKalb Published in 1920 this work is found in a compendium comprising many varied studies which often times relate to Psychoanalysis, in the’ Nervous and Mental Disease Monograph’. I personally find it quite hilarious that this is where psychology was at a fifth past the 20th century. It’s engaging in truly that regard alone, or as an example or even a refresher as to why Psychoanalysis was sometimes seen as being carried too far in a particular, namely sexual and repressed sexual drive (libidinal forces), direction and the motive to carry out these unfulfilled wishes under the auspices of sleep so as to stave off any of the associated guilt the actual act would provoke during ones normal wakefulness (1353). Interesting in its antiquity, and certainly in possession of material which will make you wonder. The belief in this one is certainly left up to the individual and their own powers of discernment.The translator sets the work up as the final word from psychoanalysis as it regards somnambulism and noctambulism, or sleep walking and moon walking. Both considered to be a form of wish-fulfillment. The author, Sadger, then details a pair of cases he’s come across during his tenure as a psychoanalyst.Sadger begins by stating the characteristics of sleep-walkers: unresponsiveness, generally sure footed, eyes closed / half-closed, purposeful, uninhibited, etc. He then briefly comments on the fact that much of science and literary poets as well, have seldom recognized the validity of moon-walking as a genuine disorder. The author’s questions run thusly: 1. Why does the individual not remain still as most others do while they sleep? And, ‘what value and significance must be attributed to the moon and its light?’ (110) – Do you see how we’re entering some pretty comedic territory here? Psychoanalysis and moon-walking.Case 1: Young woman, 26, has been under Dr. Sadger’s care for nine months whence she began speaking of her moon-walking habits. Sadger had asked this woman to provide him an ‘autobiography’ of her early childhood as it relates to her earliest sleep-walking experiences. What immediately strikes the reader is that the young woman incessantly refers to the ages between 1 and 3. Because of infantile amnesia, no individual can reliably remember anything from these developmental years.Detailing her fondness for her mother’s touch, her vaginal secretions and related enuresis (bed wetting), her homosexuality, her sadistic tendency to kick her parents when faking sleep so as to avoid the punishment associated with the intentional, willed act during wakefulness, the accounts of attempting to get into her mother’s bed, escape the crib and a fascination with the blood that her mother coughed up, we begin to see the stereotypic psychoanalytic focus on the erotic side of all engagements – of her mother’s manner of comforting her as a child: ‘as was her custom kissed me also upon the genitals.’ (190) and Sadger himself: ‘it can be affirmed, if we examine her behavior in sleep, that without exception sexual wishes lay at the bottom of it’ (242)Sadger is reading from her manuscript. Which often leaves one to wonder how much of this story is fictionalized - either because of erroneous memory, a desire to please the analyst with her own psychoanalytic knowledge or maybe she’d have been more accurately diagnosed as a pathological liar. I’m simply leaning toward the side which suggests that a degree of this young woman’s work would have found better home on a contemporary, even edgy fictional literature shelf. Not so much so is it deserving of being in a compendium of pertinent medical works. However, it embodies the essence of psychoanalysis without equal, for embracing the fairy-talesque and weaving a good sexual story was much of the analysts concern.The second in depth case consists of many of the same patterns of weaving an erotic tale out of presumably circumstantial things, with exception of the gender change. Cases 3, 4 and 5 are only briefly outlined as Sadger couldn’t find but snippets of info here. Cases 7-9 are from autobiographical accounts of moon-walking by Karl Burdach, Ludwig Ganghofer and Ludwig Tieck.Part 2 details literary accounts of moon-walking.The first is ‘Aebelo’ by Sophus Michaelis (879). I have not read, but I’d really enjoy doing so, a translation of the original Dutch, published in 1895. If Sadger’s translations are true to the original form (as close as a translation can be) then this is surely a wonderfully, poetic fairy tale. It is about a man who falls in love with a forbidden maiden, and sees her embodied as a the moon in all sorts of beautiful metaphor as this woman is depicted and he feels as if she were the moon. Tragically, the metaphor turns as she’s always chased by the sun and her wake / sleep moods are vastly different and confusing. Sadger of course ruins this romantic tragedy after injecting the hyper-unconscious-libidinal drives of psycho-analysis into every point of the story possible. However, having discovered this little piece of awesome – minus the psycho-analysis – made reading Sadger’s work well worth it.Amongst the remainder of the literature assessed by Sadger for the purpose of establishing a link between psychoanalysis’ penultimate goal (sexual, always repressed sexual) and moon-walking are works titled: ‘Jorn Uhl’ by Gustav Frenssen, ‘Maria’ and ‘Buschnovelle’ by Otto Ludwig and the first bonafide mention of ‘the Oedipus complex’, ‘Lebensmagie, Wirklickeit und Traum’ (Life’s Magic, Reality & Dream) by Theodor Mundt, ‘Der Prinz von Homburg’ by Heinrich von Kleist, ‘Das Sundkin’ (The Sin-Child) by Ludwig Anzengruber, and that to which the author devotes a copious amount of time to its analysis, psychoanalytically – ‘Macbeth’ by Shakespeare which he claims as a re-representation of Holinshed’s ‘The History of Scotland’ (2160), an actual account of historical events.Quotes:‘Mooncalf’ – deformed children – in mind (431), whom are naked and can act out their sexual fantasies, uninhibited (1354).‘We have here once more before us, a scientific erotophobia, that is the dread… of sexuality, although this is at least one of the chief driving instincts of human life.’ (468)‘Every small maiden has, that is, the wish to have a child by her father, her first love.’ (1203)From Aebelo by Michaelis:‘Solicitously, with infinite carefulness he protected her from the damp floor, while he shoved his arm under her for support without ever touching her with his hand.’ (958) – this when the maiden Gro wanders to Soelver in her sleep to the dungeon where he is imprisoned, but then she is the moon as he never touches her.‘Now he understood that love, in order to triumph, must first humble its own power, still its own movement and soften its brutal will.’ (983)‘Yes, she was walking in her sleep. Soelver recognized it by the staring look in her eyes, which gazed through the night as through miles of space.’ (1033)‘Soelver united himself with Gro. She on her part slumbered on, quiet as the sea which has closed over its sacrifice. What now?... She must not awaken in terror… he was only the bridegroom of her dreams, who dared to kiss her only when her eyes were closed… By day he was her foe, as the bear in the fairy tale, who by night alone is changed into a beautiful young man.’ (1082)
