Freud And Jung
... own personal experiences with it. As a child, Freud developed a sexual attachment to his mother. Through this experience Freud developed the Oedipus complex--a boy's longing for his mother and desire to replace his father in the phallic stage of development.

Ellington's other innovations include the use of the human voice as an instrument, such as in "Creole Love Call" (1927). He also placed instruments in unusual combinat ...

... dockyard at Chatman. It was here that Charles
Dickens' earliest and clearest memories were formed (Mankowitz 9-14).
Charles' education included being taught at home by his mother,

Gandhi remained in South Africa for twenty years, suffering imprisonment at times. In 1896, after being attacked and beaten by a mob of white South Africans, Gandhi began to teach a policy of passive resistance to, and noncooperation with, the South African authorities.
