Arens alone is clear about the lack of study of incest itself.

All, however, have their shortcomings, so it is suggested there is no substitute to reading Freud himself

23. Freud, Standard Edition. “Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis.” Vol. XVI (191&17), p.370. It is true that Freud then went on to say that whether seduction had occurred in reality or in fantasy, “The outcome is the same, and up to the present we have not succeeded in pointing to any difference in the consequences, whether phantasy or reality has had the greater share in these events of childhood.” Ibid. Today a psychotherapist would say that it certainly makes a difference whether incest occurred in reality or not. It would be important, for instance, to know whether Freud’s father was or was not the “pervert” Freud called him-especially since, like most German children of his time he slept with his parents in infancy. The point here, however, isn’t whether Freud’s every clinical opinion is held today. It is only that Freud didn’t deny that real childhood seduction all too often occurred in his patients and in the society around him.

Abraham’s blaming of the victim is particularly clear in his case of the woman who was raped by her uncle in “On the Significance of Sexual Traumas in Childhood for the Symptomatology of Dementia Praecox. “In Karl Abraham, Clinical Papers and Essays on Psycho-Analysis. New York: Basic Books, 1955, p.14.
26. This of course can only be ascertained for certain in the rare cases when the child analyst’s full clinical notes have been preserved; the best example is Melanie Klein, Narrative of A Child Analysis: The Conduct of the Psycho-Analysis of Children As Seen in the Treatment of a Ten Year Old Boy. New York: Basic Books, 1960, where Mrs. Klein reports regularly avoiding asking whether the boy’s reports of sucking his dog’s penis and having his own penis sucked might have been cover memories for real incest, despite the boy’s timid suggestion that “perhaps this had happened in the past with his brother.” (p. 93) Klein, like Anna Freud, felt real childhood sexual events of little importance compared to internal fantasy.
