Satires - Paperback

by Carlos Whitlock Porter (Author)

That repression causes neurosis is a truism of the modern world. This applies chiefly to sexual matters. It does not apply to racial matters (at least not when expressed by whites). It is the hypothesis of this authority (i.e., myself) that millions of white Americans are suffering from serious neurotic symptoms caused by the repression of their racial feelings. Freud believed that neurosis would cure itself through the "catharsis" κάθαρσις] of analysis, i.e., the "expression" - u erung - of "repressed feelings" verdr ngten Empfindungen - . It is the hope of this practitioner that the present modest volume may make some small contribution to the therapy of racially repressed white persons in situations of difficulty.
