...pediatric practice. His experiences during the 1930s were crucial to the development of his child-rearing theories. He realized that most of the problems brought to him were behavioral rather than medical: tantrums, thumb sucking, refusal to eat, sleep or potty-train on schedule. Concurrently, he grew interested in Freud and underwent psychoanalysis--twice...
This Freudian conceptual foundation, like the monochromatic form of Walker's figures, allows these racial archetypes to vacillate between positive space and negative space, between active role and passive role in this psychological struggle. On the subject of sadism and masochism, Freud wrote, "[M]asochism is nothing more than an extension of sadism turned round upon the subjects own self." To the extent that Walker's silhouettes of black girls swallowing their own hands or feces imply a masochistic tendency, they become completely interdependent with the sadistic acts being represented on other walls. These two extremes of suffering and cruelty...
...Walker reaffirms this concept with a plethora of feeding imagery, the exhibit does not fall simply into a framework of symbolism. The figurativeness of Walker's work exists in the divide between conscious and unconscious more so than the divide between real and metaphor. Walker's images allude to Freud's analysis of dreams.

She delivers the best one-liners and has the venom befitting a woman on the side of the good and the righteous, the legitimate...
...alwayswith someone else's clothing, and that someone isalways of the opposite sex. This focus on theroaring sex drives of the usually staid Britishgives the audience a voyeuristic thrill inwatching the play. In addition, the number ofphallic jokes that abound in this play are enoughalone to give Freud reason for existence. Withfrenzied movements of calculated theatrical flair,the cast manages to eke out a even a few moreexaggerated and oversexualized actions than themultitude that the script itself provides. Inparticular, Burke, as Seargant Match, does ahilariously comical performance while describinghis efforts to recover that body part of WinstonChurchill which had been...
