i personally doesn’t agree with him at all. his oedipus complex theory is quite ridiculous and most of his method wasn’t scientific. i guess he’s cool for trying though

literally!! i'm still confused how he has such a big significance decades later when his work has been largely disproven and his behaviour is unforgivable. i totally agree with you!

I think people are often confronted by his work and then shy away from its true meaning under a shallow gaze of immortality. He was most definitely a lunatic but sometimes the crazy people have profound things to say.. I also think that it’s also important to look at Carl Jung in relation to him as their work is a kind of dialogue between schools of thought. Science is about developing theories and pushing them to their limits. Without intersectionality it’s hard to place these limits within a context.

as a clinical psych student, I don’t necessarily subscribe to everything freud mentions in his work but it is very interesting to read about. i recommend the books “an outline of psychoanalysis” and “inhibitions, symptoms, and anxiety”. the books are his but translated from german to english now! super interesting.
