In reply to Freud was a Neurologist, posted by trouble on February 24, 2002, at 8:18:55
Freud was a Neurologist in title and name only. The technology available in his time was extremely crude by today's standards. In Freud's day the technology available was simply not sufficient to study, research and learn about the brain and CNS. There were no computers back then, no diagnostic imaging equipment beyond X-ray machines, no SPECT scans, there was no NASA type space technology back then as there is now.
So Freud did the best he could do considering the technology of his day. And he invented psychobabble. Which just happened to attract all the freaks in the world. Freudian BS. And sometimes Freud prescribed the best drugs available at that time, like cocaine, opiates, etc.
Give me a break, Freud was no real Neurologist. Freud was more psychologist than Neurologist.
