Anal & Freud

[Kathleen E. Miller]

American Journal of Sociology 1943, "A Personality Analysis Test, by Jessie
R. Runner, Margaret Aikins Seaver", "This class, composed of the
personalities with a high R and low Z factor corresponds rather closely
with the psychoanalytical type known as the "anal retentive."

For the concept:

Freud lays out his theories on psychosexual stages (anal is stage two) in
"Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality" (1905) and then expounded in
"Character and Anal Erotism" (1908), "The Disposition to Obsessional
Neurosis" (1913) and "On Transformations of Instinct as Exemplified in Anal
Erotism" (1917)

example of sense:

Priority and Progress, by Smith Ely Jelliffe
The Journal of Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific Methods 1917,

In an article about "the anal-erotic, concerned with the process of
defecation" ..." first realized by Freud...", "Now that possession is his,
retention may be his chief pleasure, like that of the child whose sense of
mastery lies in this holding on to his sole possession..."
