Freud, how many Chinese have you harmed?

I deeply feel the three fatal harms of the "psychoanalytics" to Chinese, and I am not unhappy now.

First, provoke the daughter to hate the mother and the son to fight the father. Pregnant in October and gave birth to you, saving money and raising you, but you actually believe in bullshit such as "the enemy of a woman's life is your mother", full of "killing the father and marrying the mother", full of "Oedipus complex", and blame all the unhappiness in your life on your parents - this "child crying and blaming his mother" practice makes you comfortable for a while, but can your conscience be comfortable? Blame you for not having a mental problem! - "Finally having a psychological problem?" Congratulations! You are a psychoanalytic mind, so follow me for lifelong analysis! "So your pockets go down day by day, and the "master's" bags bulge up day by day...

After seeing too many such women or men, seeing people who are better than themselves, they do their best to attack, hurt others and harm themselves, and they justifiably declare: "This is not my fault!" Who let me stall a pair of strong parents! ”......

Second, with the hammer of psychoanalysis, the world is looking for the nail of "Libido". Arrest who analyzes who has "sexual repression", and describes the complete hooliganism as promoting scientific psychology knowledge.

Psychoanalysis, also known as dynamic psychology, is one of the main schools of modern Western psychology, founded by the Austrian psychopathologist and psychologist Freud.

The emergence of any kind of theoretical theory is inseparable from a specific historical background and will be deeply branded by the times. Therefore, for various schools of psychological theory, only by being familiar with their specific birth background, knowing them, and knowing their reasons, can we accurately and unmistakably understand their true connotations, so as to correctly apply what they have learned. It is pointless to put aside its epochal background and to criticize any theory.

Psychoanalytic theory was born in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the transition from free and competitive capitalism in the West to monopoly capitalism was the period of extremely sharp contradictions and conflicts among various strata of society, and mankind also entered a period of total abstinence with the sacred goal of "pure social atmosphere" - the Victorian era. At that time, social taboos, especially sexual taboos, were strict, and people's sexual needs were suppressed. Asceticism and moral hypocrisy have caused great psychological conflicts and traumas, and the incidence of neurosis and psychosis is constantly rising.

"Men and women who eat and drink, the great desire of man." Sex, as the primordial driving force of life, is more imprisoned and the more it will be flooded. "Sex is like turbulent water, and if you decide the east, you will flow east, and if you decide the west, you will flow west." In such a special socio-cultural environment, Freud proposed the "libido theory", arguing that the vast majority of repressed desires belong to sex, that sexual disturbance is the root cause of mental illness, and that it is not surprising that the sexual instinct is the source of power for all human mental activities and behaviors.

The greatest contribution of psychoanalysis to psychology is to pull people down from the altar of god —man is neither dominated by God nor by personal reason—but this pull is somewhat too strong and overcorrected, pulling people directly back into the ranks of animals, overemphasizing the influence of sexual instincts, which is the main reason why many people have not been able to accept psychoanalytic views since the beginning. Truth and error are usually only one step away. In fact, even in Freud's day, it is debatable whether the effects of sex were really as ubiquitous as they claimed, perhaps more due to the psychoanalyst's self-belief and the suggestive effects it had on patients.

"If the only tool you have on you is a hammer, then you'll see all the problems as nails" (Mark Twain). Time has passed, and today's changes in the times are far from what Freud could have foreseen. If you still have a mind to go around looking for the nail of "Libido", it is a bit pedantic to the extreme, and the result can only be said to harm others and harm yourself.

In the first year after Freud first coined the term "psychoanalysis," he suffered a great blow, a period of "sullenness" and disappointment.

Freud believed that trauma was real, but the key was what caused it. He found that most of the traumatic experiences patients complained of were sexually related, and some also complained of sexual seduction or harassment by their fathers or mothers. But among the parents of those patients were people familiar to Freud, who was skeptical of the sexual temptation or harassment he heard, because such things could not happen in that kind of family.

In 1897, at the age of 41, the year after Freud first coined the term "psychoanalysis," he met a 42-year-old female patient. Patients have severe insomnia, which, like other female patients, is associated with the father's sexual temptation. However, this woman's situation was slightly different from that of others, that is, what she said was different each time. It took Freud a moment's thought to realize that these stories were all made up. The "sexual harassment" she complains about is not a fact, but a product of fantasy.

Freud was devastated by this, because most of the bases in his past "temptation theory" were not true, but the fantasies and fictions of the patients!

When Freud realized that the patient's recollection was nothing more than an illusion, he was very disappointed and had a feeling of being deceived.

Third, in the name of the "subconscious", it is necessary to manipulate the reality of others, so it is mysterious and despicable. "Your consciousness resists me, but your subconscious recognizes me, so you are still from it..."

Freud broke the tradition of rationalism, affirmed the role of irrational factors in behavior, and pioneered the system of subconscious psychology. Freud believed that the subconscious mental process occupies the most important place and significance in both normal and abnormal psychological functions, which determines the real cause and motivation of individual behavior, and also determines the symptoms of neuroses or other mental disorders. From this point of view, Freud's contribution to modern psychology is undoubtedly enormous.

Shortly after Freud formally proposed the concept of psychoanalysis in 1895, the time soon moved towards the 20th century. After entering the early 20th century, some psychologists began to be dissatisfied with the subjective speculation of psychology at that time on the psychological phenomenon of "invisible and untouchable", and tried to make psychology like other natural sciences, take observable and measurable behavior as the object of study. In the 1920s, a new movement began in the field of psychology, and behaviorism represented by Pavlov and Watson emerged. This group of scholars formed a school known as the "behaviorist school of psychology."

Behaviorism is set against the backdrop of positivist and pragmatic philosophies. Behaviorism holds that only an objective method confirmed by positivism can be called a scientific psychology.

The behaviorists, who are the complete opposite of the psychoanalytics, propose that behavior arises through external stimuli of different circumstances and situations; that emotional responses are our conditioned reflexes to a particular stimulus in the environment. In other words, people's emotional responses are learned.

Saying so much, the intention is not to distinguish which is right and which is wrong, because for psychology, the effect is always better than the truth; just to show that as a qualified psychological counselor, you should uphold the "five noes and one only" - not subjective, not presumptuous, not manipulative, not exploratory, not Shinto and materialist concepts, in order to go steadily in this industry.
