What did Freud get right?
#1
What did Freud get right?
We can all point to some asinine idea of Sigmund Freud. Penis envy....castration anxiety.... these are preposterous. Oedipus complex... his method of dream analysis... plenty in Freudian theory that we can safely call absurd. Modern psychology has basically thrown Freud into the dustbin. And I think this is the right call.

But do you think Freud was correct about some things? Do you think he had any good ideas or insights?

I do. So let's bring them up and discuss them. Just anything Freud said that you think is reasonably correct... or (maybe with some things) where he actually hit the nail on the head.

(And if you want to really rail on him for a bad idea, we can do that too.)
