It traces Freud's views from his early statement of the part played by sexual trauma in the aetiology of hysteria to hs later emphasis on the role of fantasy. Masson's criticism of Freud and of his attitude to Ferenczi's paper?Confusion of Tongues between Adults and the Child?is discussed. The paper also deals with the research on personality characteristics of paedophiles and the children involved with them, polarities of viewpoint on the long-term effects of such experiences and, finally, attitudes towards sexuality in residential establishments and the task of staff in fostering the adolescent's emotional development.<p />
