FREUD (33)
ScnMaster
Sigmund
Freud
(1856 - 1939), Austrian physician and the
founder
of
psychoanalysis
.
Psychoanalysis
is a system of mental therapy which depends upon the
following
practices for its effects: the
patient
is made to talk about and
recall
his childhood for years while the practitioner brings about a
transfer
of the
patient
's
personality
to his own and searches for hidden sexual
incidents
believed by
Freud
to be the only
cause
of
aberration
; the practitioner
reads
sexual
significances
into all statements and
evaluates
them for the
patient
along sexual
lines
. Each of these
points
later proved to be based on
false
premises and incomplete
research
,
accounting
for their lack of
results
and the subsequent
failure
of the
subject
and its offshoots.
