In psycho-analysis nothing is true except the exaggerations.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
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.
I think when I went to psychoanalysis, I actually believed that people said what they meant. This was my whole problem.
You've heard the saying, 'Analysis creates paralysis.' You can't be 100 percent sure of anything.
Psychoanalysts seem to be long on information and short on application.
In general, certain conclusions are possible from these data. They fail to prove that psychotherapy, Freudian or otherwise, facilitates the recovery of neurotic patients.
I've never gone into analysis. But Freud opened a door, I know.
Whatever you determine to be true in the subconscious becomes true for you.
Exaggeration is a blood relation to falsehood and nearly as blamable.
I don't believe in psychology.
