Based on Parin's statement that sexuality has disappeared in psychoanalysis both in theory and practice, the classical libido theory is compared to empirical observations made in infants and here especially the theories of Bowlby. Both the concept of sexual climax in early childhood and the concept of sexual drives as a fundamental motivation for the psychic development are not on agreement with empirical studies carried out in infants and the findings of psychobiology and ethology. Bowlby describes the relationship between infant and mother as a bipersonal binding which begins during the first months of life. The child does not strive for sexual stimulation of erogenous zones but rather for tactile, acoustic and visual responses as well as physical contact and tranquility related to one known and trustworthy person. This binding is totally different to the sexual relationship which evolves during adolescence and in which binding takes place between persons of the same species but to whom no relation had existed during early and later childhood. It is important for the psychotherapist that he be able to distinguish between being an object of the childish wish for binding or of adult sexual desires.
基于帕林关于性在精神分析的理论与实践中均已消失的观点，经典力比多理论与对婴儿进行的实证观察进行了比较，此处尤其涉及鲍尔比的理论。幼儿期性高潮的概念以及性驱力作为心理发展基本动机的概念，均与针对婴儿开展的实证研究以及心理生物学和动物行为学的研究结果不一致。鲍尔比将婴儿与母亲之间的关系描述为一种二元联结，这种联结始于生命的最初几个月。儿童并非追求对性敏感区的性刺激，而是寻求触觉、听觉和视觉反应，以及与一个熟悉且值得信赖的人相关的身体接触和安宁。这种联结与青春期发展起来的性关系截然不同，在青春期的性关系中，联结发生在同一物种的个体之间，但在童年早期和后期他们之间并无关系。对于心理治疗师而言，能够区分自己是儿童期联结愿望的对象还是成人性欲望的对象非常重要。
