Professor Clyde Kluckhohn came to Harvard in the 1930s. Bringing with him a lively interest in applying Freudian psychoanalysis to the study of societies, the professor began looking for discussion partners outside of Harvard's conservative, archeology-oriented Anthropology Department...
Szasz met the venerable Freudian Bruno Bettelheim, 82, for the first time, patted him on the back and called him "one of the few people at this | conference that I respect," thus indicating how far therapeutic ecumenism has to go. Among the other visiting stars who had never met were Human-Potential Guru Carl Rogers and Joseph Wolpe, one of the founders of behavior therapy.

Such a reading as Suleiman's illustrates how pornography, like art, lies in the eye of the beholder. The process of intellectual questioning is crucial to transforming cultural values and the kind of sexual...
