About This Quote
The notion that Freud was not a great thinker is without question. However, his ideas on human emotions and human behavior are still greatly respected. What is really disgusting today is the way Freud is seen as "caricature of a man." The book also argues that his idea of psychoanalysis, or analysis, is more of a social problem than it is about psychology. Today, many people do not like analysis because they believe it is an attack on their personality.
