you're right of course

his influence is enormous

I was just thinking of his original ideas unrefined and moved into modern times

and his treatment of women

and his refusal to believe the stories of abuse they told him

and I think so many things besides childhood sexual feelings make people what they are

and i've never seen psychoanalysis cure anyone of anything....... ever


so my personal experiences are clouding my judgement

but I always gave him credit for the idea of transference and the repetition compulsion or complex or whatever although I don't know if he deserves it or not....that's certainly alive and well isn't it

and every time someone does something dreadful the tv commentators say he's "sick" nobody says he's a sinner....last night I saw a tv program about John Hinkley and he was given a quick analysis as having been loved too much by his mother etc etc without a blink of an eye

so SigF's ideas are part of the mainstream for sure
