The senior author of this paper has been writing many papers in the past seven years on psychoanalysis as dialectic materialism. Though superficial, most of the papers have been clear and have had the advantage of adhering to the instinct theory, a basis usually abandoned by those interested in dialectics. In this paper, however, Freedman has fallen off the sled while rounding a curve. He advances a new terminology and a new sociological psychopathology which have nothing to add but confusion. In all his writings, Freedman seems to be oblivious of the fact that an extensive literature on the subject exists in foreign journals beginning over twenty years ago.
