The depiction of infantile sexual theories unfolds along a progressive and a regressive path. Steven Spielberg's film The Fabelmans is an example of a sadistic primal scene theory that continues to be elaborated in the filmmaker's work. Infantile sexual theories, moreover, are part of a traumatic experience within the multimodal relational history of every individual, something Freud himself depicted in different ways in his writings. The regressive and progressive paths question the psychoanalyst at the level of his/her own sublimatory choices and more secondarized theorizations.
