The traditional story about the historical origins of Freudian psychoanalysis implies that the Oedipus complex was part of Freudian theory from the very beginning.However, in this first edition of Three Essays on Sexuality, first published in 1905 and never before translated into English, we find no reference whatsoever to the Oedipus complex.Is there a Freudian psychoanalysis that is not Oedipal?This first version of Freud's Three Essays articulates just such a non-Oedipal psychoanalysis.As such, it still has a definite 'emancipatory' potential; Freudian psychoanalysis is not Oedipal in its very nature.It is only from 1909 onwards that psychoanalysis tends to become a sophisticated defence of what Freud first called the 'popular opinion' about sexuality.It was precisely this 'popular opinion' that psychoanalysis originally was meant to deconstruct.Is there a Freudian escape - that is an escape that remains not so much within Freudian orthodoxy, but at least within its inspiration - from this impasse?If Freud has respected more systematically his own original thesis, could it be that the Oedipus complex wouldn't be the shibboleth of psychoanalysis?Not only is this first edition less Oedipal than is generally believed, but it also contains the elements for thinking a 'non-Oedipal' psychoanalysis; a Freud against Oedipus.
