...traditional separation of male and female roles has been based on male responsibility for economic welfare and social status, the relation of the family to the external society, and female responsibility for household functions and child-rearing, the internal maintenance of the family. Freud's concept of two principles of mental functioning, the pleasure and reality principles, is useful here. Freud noted that individual development was governed by the pleasure principle, and the development of civiliza- its perpetuation. He postulates the development of this insight into a new modality of cognition which he calls "organic knowledge." Like Laing's tion...
Laing criticizes Freud for not having "constructs for any social system generated by more than one person at a time." The criticism is somewhat hasty. While Freud lacks a construct for interpersonal relations comparable to Laing's Us and Them, Freud's pleasure and reality principles provide an approach to the problem of the individual and society which has no counterpart in Laing. Laing show no recognition of the economic basis of civilization, and does not attempt to reconcile his suggestions on sanity and inner voyages with an economic theory.

Much as the boy enjoyed the thought of this, he could not intellectually accept it as a way of life...
...Perhaps Freud saw sex as the dominating force in life because civilization had forced it to become just that; and the time in history at which man first became conscious of himself as apart from the animals may have been the first step in his undoing. Man had to constantly reassure himself. He knew he was different from the animals; but, perhaps because the distance was so small, he grew up tight about it. Man had to constantly reassure himself, as we are reassuring ourselves today. He had to persuade himself over and over of his superiority to the animals...
