Woman-envy by males may have been neglected by Freud because he saw sexuality in the woman as wholly masculine until her puberty. The author describes a male patient who reacted to pregnancy of the analyst by oscillating between the two defensive positions of incorporating and being incorporated by the analyst. On a spurious genital level he impregnated both his estranged wife and his girl friend. The abortions that followed meant revenge on the analyst whose role he envied, and an attempt to eliminate evidence of incest.
