    Nowadays, he’s only taught in a, “None of what this guy said has any basis in reality, but he basically started the field, so we’re learning this as HISTORY ONLY.” kind of way.

    You don’t need to know anything about the content of his work in order to say he is a fraud, as it is accepted as fact by the field of study as a whole.

      I do not disagree that his ideas were bad. But fraud /=/ just bad/wrong ideas. Fraud is intentional deception, and I dont know if Freud did that so I can’t take that stance.

          Bro and or broette and or brozone:

          1: That was Jung

          2: You’re talking about the times when a valid prescription was a vibrator and cocaine

          3: He has been accused of covering up sexual abuse by modern feminist scholars. I’d read those literal scholarly papers on the topic before taking internet comments seriously.
