[edit]

I've removed the cut and paste from https://gettingpastyourpast.wordpress.com/mourning-theory in the Life and Death Drives section. As explained here I don't see a rewrite as necessary as the content was off-topic in the first place. Would be useful elsewhere in the article. Almanacer (talk) 11:51, 22 December 2016 (UTC

Criticism

[edit]

Freud has been very robustly criticised and his work has been rejected in part or in whole by modern psychology. You get no sense of that from reading this page which is extremely long and fairly hagiographic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebefl (talkcontribs) 14:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What you're describing is primarily on the Psychoanalysis page, but I agree that there isn't enough here since his legacy is so controversial. Pac-Man PHD (talk) 21:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Psychologists have not taken Freud seriously in scientific terms for a very long time, but then it's debatable whether psychology amounts to a science (an actual body of knowledge) anyway. Instead he is considered a cultural or literary figure, because he popularised the idea of the unconscious mind. Khamba Tendal (talk) 19:20, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you mean ".. it's debatable whether psychoanalysis amounts to a science..."? I don't see why modern psychology, particularly experimental psychology and cognitive psychology, should not be regarded as science. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:28, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sigma Freud is probably going to be a vandal target. This article has been protected 36 times. That’s enough! 2603:8080:D03:89D4:5CCA:CBAE:CBB8:FD7C (talk) 16:22, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can we add to this sentence?

[edit]

Can we mention matthew Goode as c s Lewis in the sentence referring to the film freud’s last session, in popular culture? “ The play was made into the 2023 film Freud's Last Session, directed by Matthew Brown and with Anthony Hopkins as Freud“69.202.177.60 (talk) 23:14, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why not Jewish-Austrian neurologist?

[edit]

For some reason, I keep seeing articles about famous Jewish personas without it being mentioned in the very first line. Why? מושא עקיף (talk) 01:14, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because policy is to mention only nationality not ethnicity? Martinevans123 (talk) 08:03, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Jewish is also a nationality. @Martinevans123
That guy suffered a lot from anti-Semitism. מושא עקיף (talk) 23:05, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Jewishness is nothing if not multivalent—that he suffered for being Jewish is not in dispute. In any case, we would only present him as having a dual nationality as such if that conception is well attested. It is not. Remsense 🌈  23:09, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Israeli is a nationality. I do not believe that Jewish is a nationality, any more than Islam or Christianity. Israeli is a nationality. I don't think the UN recognises a nation called Jewland. I think this is all wholly consistent with Wikipedia policies Martinevans123 (talk) 07:41, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
