...Freud had never lived, Walt Disney would undoubtedly have created him-and wired him to guide tourists through Disneyland. Last week 6,600 of those tourists took over Disneyland for a night, and an unusual group they were: members and relatives of members of the American Psychiatric Association, which held its annual convention at Anaheim, Calif. In a happy exercise of regression, they all visited the Mad Hatter's tea party, bought Mickey Mouse hats and hugged Goofy the Dog as if he had just returned from a traumatic trip to the vet. Explained Dr. Miles Shore, superintendent...
...virtues of obsessiveness": the little oinker that builds his house of bricks shows his superiority over his less obsessive brothers and the big bad wolf. Brody cites the bobsled ride around the Matterhorn at Disneyland as an example of a means of mastering castration anxieties and other fears.

Now a growing number of researchers are surveying the adult life cycle...

When Abbie labels Julius a "front man for the Wasp power elite," he bluntly expresses the "sociocultural wounds" that, Cuddihy says, Marx and Freud expressed only indirectly. But when Cuddihy poaches upon the field of literary criticism, his judgments cloud his vision. He arrogantly dismisses Novelist Bernard Malamud as "a teller of Christian tales who 'passes' as a Jew." evidently because Malamud does not depict the Jewish ordeal the way Cuddihy defines...
