...also been severely criticized. Many a onetime disciple has drifted away, revising, overhauling, stripping the flesh from the impregnable skeleton of the original discovery and clothing it anew. One early disciple. Dr. Alfred Adler, discovered the Inferiority Complex, whose wide acceptance has nearly shouldered aside the Freudian interpretations, among them the Oedipus Complex. Today the word ''Freudian" is far less used by bigwigs of the psychological sciences than by literary and dramatic critics to pigeonhole incestuous novels and plays. But the Oedipus Complex leaped from desuetude last week when the University of Wisconsin's Dr. Ross Stagner...
...marred a most charming cinema. Of course, the film was badly chosen; it should have had a simple plot about a man and a woman and love which came at last, after all gangsters had been removed by the heroic physical efforts of the man. When critics read a Freudian significance into the modern immediacy of "Maedchen in Uniform"--where such interpretation has about as much place as in Memorial Church lower, one can hardly except a Cambridge audience to appreciate fully "Barberina", which demands a knowledge of German art and history, as well as of the language.

Author Lewisohn seldom lets his religio-poetic predilections run away with him, gives good professional literary criticism by & large...
...reality, fantastic in so far that it is opposed to the logic of our every-day life. A pocket watch painted as an object so limp and pliable as to be used for a riding saddle, that is not abstract but it is fantastic. The "Surrealistes" of 1924 adopted Freudian psychology as a key to the subconscious world they wished to explore and depict. But the symbolism of Freud, although it professes to general application, does not carry even ordinary conviction to most people, and a literature and art which used these symbols as a literal; imagery by which...
