Scientists have a tendency to believe in absolutes, in studies and the repeating of them. Psychoanalysis is firmly based in subjective accounts. We need both.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think when I went to psychoanalysis, I actually believed that people said what they meant. This was my whole problem.
I've never gone into analysis. But Freud opened a door, I know.
Nothing is absolute, with the debatable exceptions of this statement and death.
Psychoanalysis is a terribly efficient instrument, and because it is more and more a prestigious instrument, we run the risk of using it with a purpose for which it was not made for, and in this way we may degrade it.
Psychoanalysis is the confession without absolution.
Psychoanalysis pretends to investigate the Unconscious. The Unconscious by definition is what you are not conscious of. But the Analysts already know what's in it - they should, because they put it all in beforehand.
Psychoanalysts are not occupied with the minds of their patients; they do not believe in the mind but in a cerebral intestine.
We don't regard any scientific theory as the absolute truth.
All psychological research is completely barred by the interpretations of the psychoanalysts. Everything happens in the unconscious, and I don't know what this unconscious is.
In psycho-analysis nothing is true except the exaggerations.
