Was Anna Freud sexually molested by her father Sigmund Freud?
I know that Sigmund Freud is a well respected neurologist so I may get some backlash and eye rolls on this one. This is just a theory that I have concocted. I have been researching Anna Freud's relationship with her father Sigmund Freud for the past couple of weeks now but have little evidence to back up this theory.
What got me into researching Anna Freud's relationship with her father is this suspicious private letter she submitted to the Library of Congress in 1952. She does not want it open until 2020 long after she has passed. Is this not a little suspicious to you? What is in that letter that is so private that she does not want it open until 2020 long after she is dead?
Just do a search for "1952 Closed until 2020" under Anna Freud.

First of all I am disgusted of how Sigmund Freud views the actions of people. His " The Unconscious" theory or better known as the Id, Ego, and Super-Ego basically suggest that people are not responsible for their own actions because of "Instinct." For example a man like Ted Bundy who raped and killed over 30 women would not be responsible for his actions because the "Instinct" in him is what did it. I for one believe that "EVERYONE" is responsible for their own actions and are aware of what is right and wrong.
Another disgusting ideal that Sigmund concocted is the psychosexual development theory in which it states that from birth, humans have instinctual sexual appetites which unfold in a series of stages. You can read it all up here...
Freud's Psychosexual Stage Theory
So how did he get these conclusions? You can clearly see his researched is based mainly on under aged children. I'm not saying you have to sexually experiment with a child to get such results, but its very suspicious that a man who has concocted the idea that people are not responsible for their actions would also be researching psychosexual development targeted at children.
The really creepy part is that Anna Freud was born in 1895. He started writing this theory after she was born...
Sigmund Freud must have sexually abused his child Anna to get such an idea. He feels guilt in what he has done, so he has concocted this notion of "instinct" over personal responsibility to cover up his crime. Anna's work is completely different from her fathers in which she greatly emphasizes personal responsibility. The letter that she wrote might contain the truth about her relationship with her father.
Perhaps we may never know until 2020. I'm guessing that people that respected the man might have a different view of him if that was the truth.
What do you guys think? Was Anna Freud sexually molested by her father Sigmund Freud or what?

If that is not enough to convince you, his daughter Anna moved away from the classical position of her father, who was focusing his writings primarily on the unconscious Id (a perspective she found to be restrictive) and instead emphasized the importance of the ego, the constant struggle and conflict it is experiencing by the need to answer contradicting wishes, desires, values and demands of reality. By this, she established the importance of the ego functions and the concept of defense mechanism.
