Our Lady Dysentry Should be seen as a seperate system of interpretation, as the dadaists and surrealists saw him. Ignore the science, don't look for the truth in his work. The ego, the reality principle; it's all beautiful and frightning. What better combination can there be. 030601

tyger I only wish the psychological community didn't believe in him any more.

I have to TA next semester for a clinical psychologist who is of the psychoanalytic persuasion. Which means I will have to sit through numerous teeth-gritting lectures about personality and the unconscious. I don't believe in any of it. It's all total crap.

College kids - don't believe everything they tell you in school! Think for yourself! If something doesn't quite seem right, it probably isn't!

oldephebe Would you reduce all psychological disorders or pathology to the reductive codification of pharmacological profile?

Did the quest for the pharmacological and diagnostic grail begin with imipramine and then extend to that neat little pharmacological and efficacious adjunct nefariously dubbed "mothers little helpers?" Does not the soul in pain deserve a more delicate and precise exploration of not only the bio-chemical anomalies or phenomena that inform illness..but how about the deeply entrenched cultural, atavistic indices that cannot be reconciled to a life or culture that has undergone tectonic upheavels in value ascription. Should one not see how the wound was shaped and then consecrate themselves with a psychologists help to formulate a methodological therapeutic plan as a partial adjunct to appropriate pharmacological intervention? i'm a lay person but these are concerns that at least indirectly impact all of our lives. I find your scorn for the restorative and empathic feild of counseling particularly disconcerting.

p2 oe,
i love how i can look at your writings
and know you're saying something of value
but still not know what you're saying
(does a wayne's_world "we're not worthy" bow)

i think you are discrediting freud's discreditors.
i happen to like freudian theory
and have a lot of fun interpretting dreams
i also think there is something to
the ever-unpopular penis envy
though it's not true for all women
i think it's logic is sound enough
that it may be applicable to some

oldephebe no, i'm not explicitly trying to discredit freud..i was just troubled by the individual who is beggining a TA assignment and blithely disparaged the whole of a proven and efficacious adjunct in favor of pharmacological sedation..and of course i'm being ironically reductive..but..yeah i find utility in some of the things freud, jung and others have postulated.

Perhaps my assertion is somewhat imprecisely formulated, i won't pretend to be equipped to discuss the arcana of biological constitution/anomaly as it relates to proven phramacological intervention. The lives that have been dramatically restored precisely because of the fruit of rigorous research and deduction in medication matching cannot be argued against. But there is this disdain among some medical professionals towards anything that asks the physician to move beyond the technical and reach out with an informed empathic intuitive plan supported by empiric indice. To elevate a more humanistic approach on equal footing with the pharmacological and sheer profile pasting with the requisite medicinal ameliorative fills the majority of psychchiatrys sacrosanct orthodoxy with scorn and disdain. This disdain extends implicitly to the patient. "I am the omniscient physician. Please take the perfect pink pill and go away. Do not question what you cannot ever possibly hope to understand"

waynes world was brilliant and is sorely missed..SNL has become this vapid and uninspired choreography of comedy, even with Tina Fae's sometimes serviceable writing.

oE meant to say "no i'm not explicitly trying to discredit freuds detractors, if that is the meaning that inhere's out of that, well..that is just the range of potentional subordinate or constituent meaning that could inhere out of such a imprecise and loaded assertion (the one i initially made, reel me back in from these rococco reams of rhetoric..please)

paper*wings it's quite apparent most of you don't know a whole lot about psychoanalytic theory. yes some of it became incredibly ridiculous but a lot of time that's the only thing we hear about freud or karen horney, or anyone involved in the early psychoanalytic movement. but, you forget before that psychology was a "cold" science with little to no reference to higher mental process. In fact so many of you knock freud but IN FACT what you (and i) are doing here is CLASSICALLY FREUDIAN! this is precisely what freud would call "free association" but, without a therapist to interpret what it all means. While freudian interpretation may leave something *if not much* to be desired the technique was still incredibly revolutionary in obviously essential to modern psychology.
i personally tend to hang my hat with he likes of Piaget, and James and even many cognitivists. but that's irrelevant to this discussion. all in all when it comes down to it. freud was essential let's not give him such disdain.
