PSYCHOTHERAPY - Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud, the inventor of psychoanalysis, appreciated the many ways in which our minds are troubled and anxious. It isn't us in particular: it's the human condition.

“He described himself as an obsessional neurotic. For although the father of modern psychology told us so much about our inner lives, he was touchingly vulnerable himself....”

So, a Freudian slip is when you say something but mean your mother... - I mean another...

[BluDrgn]

This is probably the  best, most calm and rational explanation of Freud's views I've found in a long while.

[FornusSomeFornit]

It's pretty entertaining that Freud's theories seem to make people unnecessarily mad, even today.

Through years of studying psychology I have learned to really appreciate Freud and his ideas (even though they sound crazy at the surface). He was the first person to touch upon what we now know as cognitive dissonance; the great discomfort of holding conflicting attitudes, which drives us to irrational behaviours over and over again. My fellow psychology undergraduates tend to dismiss him as a crackhead and a scam, but even though his reasoning was a little bit wack, some of his conclusions were indeed appropriate, and with modern cognitive psychology we are now discovering that fact.

[cyberlioness]

Freud had a difficult life. He was rejected by everyone in his field. He CREATED the field of psychology. His work and then break with Jung was the great schism of our current age.

I started reading *Sigmund Freud's work when I was 13* and since then I started understanding more and more psychoanalysis and use it in most of life's occasions. I also help out friends with analysing their inner cores. Despite the negative comments about Freud, I still love his way of thinking and discovering solutions to out lives.

Would you guys ever make a video about Carl Jung?

[mrk]

I heard a story about how Sigmund Freud's wife was mopping the floor, but forgot to tell him that the floor was wet.

He had a Freudian slip.

The "children sexualizing their parents" part is pretty bonkers and unbelievable to me

[ingajeweetwel]

And all this time I couldn't explain why 'mature', 'mom', 'mother catches son' and 'sister' were so popular
