Let me guess: you haven't read any Freud outside of his wikipedia page, eh?
>2016
>not understanding the distinction between psychology and metapsychology
Let me guess: Freud was a leftist so it is mandatory that you rush in to discredit him with mockery, instead of read him, evaluate his ideas, and critique him, eh?

hey, fucker, don't steal my syntax.
>>8587254
stop adding "meta" in front of everything
it's fucking called the history of psychology
you fucking retard
>>8587282
Absolutely not. If you read him, you would know
>>8587299
I haven't really read him, but I did meta-read him though
>>8587311
Come on pal
>>8587282
history of psychology =/= metapsychology
The 10% who has read Freud beyond a few pages of interpretation of dreams please come to this thread and inform these fucking plebs
Dropping Freud is great when having a conversation with girls and you want to turn the talk into a sexual direction but still look like a smart guy.

You can't do the reading instead of people who don't and won't, that explains a lot of things on this board

The only people I've ever heard claim that Freud was discredited are absolute leftists, usually fags who have social work degrees while bussing at Applebees and read about Freud in their general psych class and got both literally and figuratively butthurt about what Freud implied concerning their childhood.

You gotta be kidding me, we have daily threads of "analytic" (not really, just /pol/ being retarded and thinking that all continental philosophy is literal SJWism) retards telling Freud is unfalsifiable garbage, jewish mysticism and what else

Lol no I am socialist and a grad student of clinical psych
Freud was a hack and is obsolete. Keep jerking the dick of his pathetic legacy.
>>8588143
He is the father of psychiatry. Which means all of psychiatry is a joke.
>T-t-the things I learn in g-g-grad school are correct Freud was wrong.
>>8588634

Retard alert. Maybe learn the difference between psychology and psychiatry

fuck
literally lol'd loud as fuck in the computer lab and now people are looking at me
psychoanalysis is still a strong engine for literary critique even if freud is nonsense. Theorists do a lot with his ideas as a general model rather than an actual explanation.
Freud was literally right about everything. He did nothing wrong.
its the same that happens with leonard cohen: hes a bastard jew and i hate everything he represents, but, helps heaps to impress artsy girls.
Even before I had ever read Freud I always thought it was fucking stupid when people made statements like this without having read Freud.
Now that I have read him I realize how absolutely butchered the general notion of Freudian theories are in modern casual discourse.
Freud is clearly very incisive and very patrician if you read any of his case studies or any of his theory papers. The Lacanian stages of psychological development is also fascinating. Fuck I hate ever hearing about Freud in a conversation because now it just triggers me when people say "LOL can you guys believe people like FREUD like I wanna fuck my mom right NOW HA I seriously don't at all! xDD"

freud was right

I know. The way he relates the therapeutic process to tragic catharsis proper is great.
