title: [From passionate sucking to oral-aggressive destruction wishes: really a revolution? A rejoinder to Ulrike May].
abstract: The author discusses May's paper on the history and relevance of oral sadism, published in the last issue of LUZIFER-AMOR. He doubts that the oral-sadistic organisation was an exclusive feature of Abraham's theory and that for Freud sadism never predated the anal stage. He misses a distinction between internal and external objects and criticizes that May did not really consider other readings of the texts she explored. By characterizing Abraham's ideas as a "revolution" the author feels that May has disputed their being rooted in Freud's thought, thereby divesting Abraham and his followers of the connection to Freud which is essential for every psychoanalyst.
