Description: Steven Marcus reviews 'Darwin's Worms' by Adam Phillips.
Adam Phillips's essays meditate on Freud, Darwin and their redefinitions of the world. dam Phillips, a child psychotherapist in London, is also a gifted writer. He has become increasingly known for his artful and epigrammatic essays, many of which have been appropriately published in literary journals. Phillips will often take up a relatively unnoticed phenomenon, like tickling, or explore a commonplace yet mysterious behavior, like kissing, using some observation by Freud as a launching platform. In the case of kissing, Freud noted that a young child learns to seek sensual pleasure split off from nourishment by sucking, will subsequently turn to his own skin, on his arm or toe or thumb, as an ''inferior'' source of pleasure and at a still later date seek ''the corresponding part -- the lips -- of another person.'' The child seems to be saying, Freud remarks, ''It's a pity I can't kiss myself.''
