Freud's correspondence (quoted in Jones, 1955, 405) shows that the underlying idea of this paper occurred to him in June, 1912, though the work was only published a year later. In a letter to Ferenczi of July 7, 1913, he connected the ‘subjective determinant’ of the paper with his own three daughters (Freud, 1960a).
