The immediate presumption that the sister of a psychotic inherited a common genetic defect is out-rightly inhumane. Obviously, the environment was the most probable determining factor in her own neuroses; the real question should be of course the sanctity of the analyst, not simply in respect to the polish on his persona but an inquiry into his motives; WHY does he refuse to take the brother into consideration NOT as a symptom of a common, mystical, “genetic” cause, [Genes ostensibly code for proteins, but all else is theoretical.] but as the immediate sociological cause in his sister’s stress?
It could easily be dismissed as genetic were it not that even the relationship BETWEEN THE ANALYST AND THE PATIENT is sociologically motivated in Nature.
