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.

  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.

  53. Russell thinks her numbers are underestimated since 36 percent of the households in her study refused to be interviewed and these probably had higher vitimilation rates. See Diana Russell, lecture, May 17, 1988, Waukesha, Wisconsin, reported in Carol Poston and Karen Lison, Reclaiming Our Lives: Hope for Adult Survivors of Incest.

  56. The first two factors, the higher-rate populations excluded from the studies and the Suppression of memories, only account for a few additional percentage points. The third factor, the higher rate for households refusing to participate in the studies, is in'. possible to quantify, so I have here not corrected for this fact. The fourth factor can, however, be quantified, since the recovery of repressed memories for an estimated 90 percent of the incidents prior to age five and for an estimated 35 percent of the in-cidents after age five would boost the overall rate by almost 50 percent. For a study which concludes that patients "who were abused early in childhood" were the most likely to suffer "massive repression" of memories, see Judith L. Herman and Emily Schatzow, "Recovery and Verification of Memories of Childhood Sexual Trauma." Psychoanalytic Psychology 4(1987): 1-14. The figures I use, therefore, should be con-sidered conservative.
