Julius Epstein - The Psychiatrist:
Well, I think the conflict in this personality, uh, sorta started from his formative years. I think it gives evidence in his choice of the cello. For instance, studying the cello at the age of six. Is just coming out of the formative years, but the conflict is there in his choice. Because it is generally assumed the cello is a phallic symbol, I mean with the grasp and the lowest structural forms certainly a feminine, if anything motherly. In fact, the utilization of the bow, I would imagine is the sublimation of the stroking the torso. So between the grasping, the phallic and the stroking of the torso, would create, I would imagine great conflict. Even at the age of six

Well I think the conflict in this personality
00:00:03.636 --> 00:00:06.537
uh sorta started from his formative years
00:00:07.206 --> 00:00:10.232
I think it gives evidence in his choice of the cello
00:00:10.309 --> 00:00:13.008
For instance studying the cello at the age of six
00:00:13.913 --> 00:00:16.143
Is just coming out of the formative years
00:00:16.215 --> 00:00:17.807
but the conflict is there in his choice
00:00:18.998 --> 00:00:21.484
Because it is generally assumed the cello is a phallic symbol
00:00:21.554 --> 00:00:23.613
I mean with the grasp
00:00:24.049 --> 00:00:28.187
and the lowest structural forms certainly a feminine
00:00:28.327 --> 00:00:30.998
if anything motherly
00:00:31.033 --> 00:00:34.197
In fact the utilization of the bow
00:00:34.333 --> 00:00:39.003
I would imagine is the sublimation of the stroking the torso
00:00:40.105 --> 00:00:44.565
So between the grasping the phallic and the stroking of the torso
00:00:44.071 --> 00:00:48.146
would create I would imagine great conflict
00:00:48.213 --> 00:00:49.771
Even at the age of six
