Leaping Over Walls

Oliver James, in the Observer Magazine, celebrates 150 years since the birth of the great Sigmund:

My father was psychoanalysed by Freud’s daughter, Anna, at the house in Hampstead where Freud died. One day, approaching the house for a session, my dad felt an unaccountable wish to leap over its wall. When he reported this to Ms Freud she asked, ‘And did you have an erection at that moment?’ He did. How strange that she could have known this.

I make no comment.
