Barbara Fried
One key Freudian concept that Barbara Fried has come to unintentionally embody is “the return of the repressed”: the idea that denying uncomfortable truths ultimately leaves us vulnerable to their ferocious return. In his work with patients, Freud saw the return of the repressed through symptomatic behaviors – for example, a tic or tremor might be the physical manifestation of a thought so dangerous the patient could not entertain it.
While her son was on trial, Barbara Fried seemed to be suffering an almost clinically precise episode of eroding repression: as the trial wore on, she developed a violent tremor in her jaw. According to Michael Lewis himself, who had spent extensive time with the family, this was a new tic. A Freudian would see it as a manifestation of the trauma of witnessing her career-defining philosophy pummeled to dust by the unpredictable, non-deterministic, harmful choices made by her own son.
