On October 28, 1907, Jung wrote to Freud that "my veneration for you has something of a 'religious' crush. Though it does not really bother me, I still feel it is disgusting and ridiculous because of its undeniable erotic undertone. This abominable feeling comes from the fact that as a boy I was the victim of a sexual assault by a man I once worshipped." Dervin notes that in Jung's autobiographical work, Memories, Dreams, and Reflections, there is a virtual absence of events involving women and genital sexuality. Jung had an ambivalent relationship with his clergyman father, in whose room he slept when his parents were estranged. Dervin chooses to interpret the confession of the homosexual experience in Jung's letter, not as a literal event, but rather as a prospective wish, a transference fantasy, consistent with the unreliability of the fantasies of hysterics at the time. Other interpretations are possible.
