The above definition is one that stemmed from a misunderstanding of Freud's views on the role sexuality played in the formation of neuroses. His views were misunderstood and criticized, with others accusing him of pansexualism. In 1923, Freud wrote, ". . . it is a mistake to accuse psycho-analysis of 'pan-sexualism' and to allege that it drives all mental occurrences from sexuality and traces them all back to it. On the contrary, psycho-analysis has from the very first distinguished the sexual instincts [drives] from others which it has provisionally termed 'ego-instincts [drives]' . . . and even the neuroses it has traced back not to sexuality alone but to the conflict between the sexual impulses and the ego."
