Sigmund Freud wrote to a distraught mother that her son’s suspected homosexuality was no cause for lament, “nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation” On another occasion, Freud insisted that homosexuality should not be grounds for anyone to be summoned to a court of law.

These statements appear for the first time in English in the just published Revised Standard Edition of Freud's complete psychological works.

Jacqueline Rose is co-director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities .

She argues that Freud is still putting to us all today how to think of the enemy in times of war.

Rose says that a line or barrier in the oppressive ordering of the world between men and women, between enemies and loved ones, is being blurred.
