I accept that their texts was influenced by the social context. But (even being kind of leftist) I must admit that our current 'democratic' psychology (I mean these group therapies and neurology) is huge step back of what Freud did.Both were more or less bourgeois.
I actually don't understand how such statements works, how they are valid.I think Freud was wrong about a lot,
Thanks for reply. But let's say you have a symptom. For example, you feel the need to wash your hands every 3 hours. Isn't it a sign that your own intuitions of how your desire works failed.Driven insane by being made to deny your own intuitions and accept someone else's about your own experiences.
Yep, Rank is pretty fundamental but I've never understand what people find if Fromm. Why Fromm is important for you ?Neither, I vote Fromm or Rank.
Maybe not. But I don't think that the violence is something bad in itself, it just a fact. And by that reason I would probably choose the side of Freud, because Jung propose something worse than the violence - the (I believe) fake liberation from neurosis through myth. Freud is more honest and he don't play with hope of patient. I think that you are victim of the violence (in this context) when you feel guilt for not doing something. If someone force you to go to the dentist it is violence but it is obvious so you can confront it. But if you feel guilty for not visiting dentist is more like hidden violence and I believe it more effective.if violence is the right term to characterise human relations
I also don't understand this argument. It sounds like you are talking on political debates. What is this destruction specifically and why we are afraid of destruction in science (or philosophy) at all?I think overall Freud's influence on society and culture has been strong and generally destructive — Wayfarer
I've never understand this argument. Isn't it clearly political? This argument estimate psychological method by the liberal criterionseems to me to present a more person centred, relational, and thus open approach.
I'm too. And I've tried to show this in the "scenes". Psychoanalysis is presented as a form of violence in both of them. But difference is what and how victim speaks in those situations.I am not a fan of scientific psychology
Well, sorry you feel that, but it's internetdidn't bother to comment.
