Remember about Freud- he initially thought trauma played the major role in psychiatric illness, but later decided that it was a FANTASY of sexual trauma that made people(mostly women) ill. Despite all the valuable ways in which he is considered to have ushered in modern understanding of emotional illness, most therapists today think that real trauma-whether by emotional neglect, physical, emotional or sexual abuse- is a, or even the, major cause of emotional illness in adults.
