actually, he first published his studies to say that sexual abuse caused latent memories and fears and in the Victorian era where there was an incredible amount of sexual abuse Freud found himself with all his funding pulled. He regrouped and republished his paper and blamed it on the child's desires and his funding returned

i read that somewhere. To think the sort of impact he could have had on trauma and abuse if he had stayed that course.
I think it depends on whether or not a child has it in them to become like that. The extra abuse could nudge them towards the edge or not being abused to nudge them in another direction. It's complicated but it's better not to take the risk.
