The Trauma of Birth (Das Trauma der Geburt) is a 1924 book by Otto Rank, 1st published in English translation in 1929. It was the beginning of a series of books in which Rank argued that birth is an interruption of blissful uterine life from which people spend the rest of their lives trying to recover. Freud read the manuscript, & seems initially to have welcomed it, even writing to Rank to tell him that he would accept its dedication to him. Freud's attitude to the book later changed. He alternated between praising & passing severe judgment on it. However, several members of a committee secretly established in 1913 to protect Freud reacted more harshly. Both Karl Abraham & Ernest Jones expressed opposition to The Trauma of Birth, since they believed that it implicitly contradicted some of Freud's basic ideas. Richard Webster has suggested that this belief was correct.
