William Stekel Quotes
Love at first sight is a revival of an infantile impression. The first love object reappears in a different disguise.
Stekel, Wilhelm. The Depths of the Soul: Psycho-Analytical Studies. Translated by Samuel A. Tannenbaum, Moffat, Yard and Company, 1921.
Wilhelm Stekel was an Austrian physician and psychologist, who became one of Sigmund Freud's earliest followers, and was once described as "Freud's most distinguished pupil". According to Ernest Jones, "Stekel may be accorded the honour, together with Freud, of having founded the first psycho-analytic society"; while he also described him as "a naturally gifted psychologist with an unusual flair for detecting repressed material." He later had a falling-out with Freud, who announced in November 1912 that "Stekel is going his own way". His works are translated and published in many languages.
