Nell'Interpretazione dei sogni di Freud, due bambini inscenano oniricamente una decollazione. Si trovano così riuniti suggestivamente il tema dell'infanzia (allegorizzato nella pittura classica dalle tante Madonne col bambino) e il tema della perdita della testa (che richiama le altrettanto numerose Salomè e Giuditte).

To emphasise both the empirical nature of psychoanalysis and its capacity to engender illuminating hypotheses concerning the functioning of the mind, clinical examples alternate with theoretical argument.
