This concept is hilarious, thank you for introducing me.
Any time Freud comes up people rush in to say what an unscientific quack he was. I'm sure they're right. I spent a lot of time reading Freud in my undergrad (I wanted to understand what the fuck Zizek was talking about). I also spent a lot of time in the physiological -industrial complex, including seeing four different therapists. And, I gotta say, what I did with them is almost exactly like what Freud described in his books.
For anyone who wants to say how advanced we are since Freud, have you read "A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis"? What specifically has changed between the method that's described in that book and what's done now? Any time I've ever asked a psychologist about this they just get smug and condescending. As far as I can tell, the biggest difference between then and now is that the drugs we use now are less powerful (no more coke).
