  • ...as a psychology student i love this...haha...also freud is completely ridiculous...and sick, and most of his studies were conducted on a very specific group of women...and therefore are invalid :P

  • seeing this - not good for me as i'm planing on majoring in psychology next year

  • if Freud is wrong and most of you disagree about his 'studies' and say they are outdated, how come its still being taught for GCSE psychology - Edexcel exam board

  • lol "Need Subscribe for food" in the background

  • Psychology Sucks

  • Well when i took psyhology classes the only thing i learned that everyone has milions of problems like if ure happy uve got a problem if ure not happy u got a problem ir ur neither happy or unhappy u got a problem etc

  • You're confusing all of psychology with clinical psychology. And then only therapeutic clinical psychology.And even then only rudimentary psycho-analysis from the Freud/Jung era.

    Sorry Dean, but if you don't know what you're talking about, you shouldn't be doing the talking.

  • @Dekadez isn't the content for 99% of his videos psychology related?

  • Are talking about psychology or psychoanalysis? Because there's a huge difference. Psychology isn't only about mothers, fathers and unresolved issues - it is about explaining aspects of human behavior we don't actually understand. Plus, using psychological approach has let many companies to make millions and millions of dollars in profit (advertising). So be more specific on the subject. And what about Neuropsychology?

    P.S. Interesting video for someone using subliminal messaging... lol

  • i love the ending

  • Thx for trying to make people think psychology sucks even when it doesn't.

  • Always true stuff + a good amount of humor,he's great :]

  • lol "We need Subscribe for food" in the back

  • lol /bow so smart

  • dude i'm a psychology major and it looks to me like the main problem you raised is more applicable to freudian psychoanalysis...and evidence in science is always indirect...even theories in physics are hypothetical reconstructions based on observable evidence...i'm not sure if you implied that the "hard" sciences are capable of direct observation while psychology cannot...because if you did, that would be factually incorrect

  • Not mentioning any names... *cough* Freud

    lol

  • Freud projected his own warped fantasies onto others, using a few other like-minded people as evidence.

    The argument from authority fallacy is one of the main reasons people believe in macro-evolution. The establishment says it is science. Therefore, it is.

  • u are extremely opinionated.. but in a very very good way!

  • pie.

    

  • I argued with my family on the same theme the other day! Although my argument was that, excepting serious and extremely disfunctional mental states (which would at the end be passed to the psyquiatrist), most "situations" psycologists deal with can be solved by simply thinking about it, following the logical steps, following your heart, or if none helps, asking for feedback from any other "normal" person...

  • @f3rn4n2x3str3ll4 False. Psychology is committed to, simply put, reducing uncertainty via statistical and methodological analysis. You might think it's logical that people have varying personality compositions, and that they lead to different outputs, but unless you measure it you don't know. You think you know, which is an entirely different thing and the base of invalidity.

  • Yo Dean man you know biology is also a soft science aswell because of all the variables that are involved it can be comparable to psychology...because both can't be 100% accurate, theres just assumtions and general theories...I think Math might be the only science tht is "solid"

  • @Shanongao Math states 1+1 = 2 math's can't be solid. It's disproved by physics.

  • @SetTheWafflesFree LOL and just proved me right...1+1=2 any arguments?

  • @Shanongao Physics says particles can exist in multiple places at once. This means we can count two particles (1+1) and come out the other side with only one particle (1+1 = 1.) That means that 1+1 doesn't always equal 2, and the very foundations of maths are wrong, so the whole subject can't be right.

  • @SetTheWafflesFree False. This is based on the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which deals not in objective reality, but rather in the likelihood of each potential state of reality. The example to which you are referring is an electron passing through a double-slit apparatus. Before observation, the electron's position is a wave function of probabilities of various positions. However, observation causes a collapse of this, into a single position. In other words, 0.5 + 0.5 = 1.

  • What i took away from this:

    All psychologists are Psychoanalysts...

    p.s. most people who think they know Freud have never read him to understand him...

  • Comment removed

  • @neoblast1 You've lost all credibility in asserting that he liked sex too much. I can assume you have never taken a course on Freud or even read him...To freud, sex and pleasure were practically synonymous. Example...The little boy in freuds Oedipus Complex in essence was not trying to have sex with his mother but saw his mother as the source of all pleasure and would thus have a strong affinity for her.

    I can bet u think of yourself as as an open mind but looking at ur comments...

  • @neoblast1

    Also, take a course on Evolutionary Biology and come back and tell me that it is Freud placing too much emphasis on sex. His emphasis on sex is completely consistent with Evolutionary theory which asserts that sex is the only reason you live.

  • Not saying any names... Freud... lol. You still gotta give the man credit, he did start the field.

  • what kind of deuche bag dislikes your videos man? fuck them.

  • @TheBuddhaFist Psychologists, that's who.

  • im a psycologhy student and i must say that the freud theory is the most stupid, awful theory of psycologhy.

  • @Bonedart1 the fact the you use syntax like "the most stupid" shows why you don't understand Freud. You clearly don't have the intellect to be studying him.

  • @TheBuddhaFist i actually understand him, and i know that his theory is are actually useful, i just hate the fact that he wants to remark sex like the most important thing in our lifes. Alfred adler for example, is more accuarate and flexible than freud.

  • @Bonedart1 I disagree. humans exist for one reason and one reason alone. to procreate like a single celled organism, we are scarcely dissimilar. everything in our feeble sad existance boils down to one all encompassing goal. and that is to achieve intercourse with the opposite sex. to propagate the species. If you think there is something else to humanity, you're simply diluted.

  • LOL

  • SUBSCRIBE NEED FOR FOOD!

  • And THAT my friend... is why we have PHSYCIATRY

  • I went to the psychologist and She was mean. Not a nice person at all. She made me feel nervious, I never feel nervious at all, and she told me I was so fucked up.

    The people who arent like everybody else are treated like freaks

  • AHAHAHAHSA I love you man that was a Rippa

  • FUCK psychology.

  • bet you didint see the subscribe button over nis desk :D

  • >_> Dean.....You can be my father im more than ok with it...

  • :d

  • I see you, sneeeeeeeeky subscribe button

  • You shouldn't be too harsh on the psychologists, because just like so many others, they have an enormous tendency to exaggerate in their quest for finding purpose, and logical cause-consequence relations, whilst sometimes, these just do not exist.. It's the curse of mankind

  • @RefluxRepresentative i think youre over-exaggerating, a lot of psychologists are actually professional and dont try to bulls$!t others, or themselves for that matter, they dont constantly try to find a problem where there is none...thats more of a freudian attitude, and one which the public stills sees as an integral part of psychology, which couldnt be farther from the truth.

  • Philosophy was once the field of study that one would go to find ideas on the nature of humans and their actions and overall nature. Philosophy attempted to describe (among other things) who we are and why we do what we do. To me, the most interesting parts of psychology attempt to answer similar questions by using information taken from physical experiments. Either way, psychology follows the scientific method and surely overwrites outdated explanations with ones that make more sense.go psych!

  • You are of course correct and after stumbling across your channel I am loving you. As some one who aspires to be a therapist some of the things you said are pretty dead on (Freud was more than a little odd) as some one who enjoys the subject matter, while not being offended, I feel the need to defend it. I am of the belief that every science has it's flaws as well as well it's uses.

  • @carlyr2k8 Science doesnt have any flaws' science is the interpretation to all physical truths' often lacking the context to the defintions to any experience'

  • what no booyah! ?

  • I believe the best therapist for some one is who bettet then ones self no one knows you better then u

  • It is quite obvious that you have little knowledge of modern psychology and its applications. Stick with what you know.

  • It really bothers me how many people believe what their therapist says... hearing how many people are messed up cuz of their therapist's interpretations is really no good for anyone. How can they come to a conclusion with only half or less of the information? There's always more than one side of a story.

  • @BMFstudiosNYC There is no psychology what it all boils down to is the conflict within an all inclusivity in dealing with all of the impressions' all related to expectations and being confident while seeing that others are afflected with the same underlying concerns of communication' but what is communication related too but ones own sense of survival and any sense of contentment often controlled by the influences of a world view' read somephilosopjhy and youwill see there isno point to religion

  • Comment removed

  • This is the first video of yours I disliked. You seem to be quite knowledgeable about the hard sciences, but you have fallen into the same trap that many people have by assuming that the soft sciences are not actually scientific. Psychologists base their information on theoretical information that has been tested just as much as the chemists do this. Freud was the one of the loudest, but that does not make his one of the best or even most revered psychologists.

  • FAVOURITE BADLY FAVOURITE ....FUCKIN GENIUS

  • XD Man your hilarious, I personally just think psychology is a interesting subject (as Im taking an AP course in it after a CP one last year). And, yes Freud did easily fit peoples problems as you said. xD

  • A theory I have for psychology is that the input can be changed into the output in several different ways. If the input was 10 and the output happened to be 50 any number of processes could happen in between to cause the output. You could multiply 10 by 5, or add 40, or add 10 and multiply by 2.5. In psychology the cause of the problem could be one of many things.. We assume that this process causes that output and no other means creates the same output.

  • I bet all those who agree with you can't even spell the word pyscholgy... I mean pschychology.... I mean psychology. :-p

  • DAD! Why don't you ever message me back!

  • meh psychology is young that's all. I mean how crazy what some stuff YEARS ago? Humans and monkeys being related in some way? A magical force that pulls us back to planets? Living things being made of more living things? It also doesn't help that the earliest psychologists were crazy as hell, and many more worked on that basis that "humans are too humanlike to be analyzed" so their work was mostly null and void

    but I got a 3 on my AP test(of 5) so I'm not exactly an expert lol

  • I think the problem isn't psychology, it's psychiatry.

  • Whilst accurate in referral to the ideas of Freud, which most psychologists would agree with, you seem to miss the point of psychology.

  • Subscribing :) Bon Appétit

  • Comment removed

  • Did he just say, "Internets"?

  • Anyone notice the "Need Subscribe for Food" on the shelf?

  • Talking about Psychology, are you bipolar? You have two different channels, this one is your cute little nerd side, and OGFurious is your gangsta brofessional chill side. Sub'd to both :3

  • mainstream psychology. thats what u are refering to

  • freud is irrelevant in modern psychology...though his legacy lives on in psychoanalysis they utilize more refined methods for counseling and treatment nowadays.

    and psychology does not automatically equal counselor/therapist/etc...ther­e are other major sectors of psychology that deal with research and experimentation.

  • You are talking about psychoanalysis not psychology :D In psychology you have tests, measures and you don't say something you can't prove. :))

  • Yo Dean ! please talk slower when explaining about this and other complicated subjects x)) ty

  • I'm studying psychology at university.

    And I enjoyed this video.

  • I'm not a internet!

  • @DeanLeysen I think you raise a lot of good points here. However, what you're talking about here is not psychology itself, but psychoanalysis - only a branch of many.

    What people often forget is that there are other sides of psychology as well: researchers make tons of very well conducted experiments each year and arrive to extremely interesting conclusions through statistical analysis. Psychology will never be as exact a science as physics, but it would be a mistake not to take it seriously.

  • @GrimSqueaker03

    I agree. I think the general public's perception of psychology is modern day Freud's sitting on a couch analyzing people. Clinical psychology has grown to become much more scientific then the 1900's. Sub fields like cognitive psychology and quantitative psychology are very scientific as well.

  • Comment removed

  • @GrimSqueaker03 agreed

  • HAH Freud.

  • SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING! lol PLEASE ANSWER... is it true that if u dont use it u lose it?

  • psychology itself is an amazing science, but i think that psychiatry is somewhat stupid.

  • Yeah Freud is full of crap....

  • @ShaktipatSeer2 so are you ... Human nature?

    btw; Freud was...

  • How come I get an add for cheap semen quality tests, when watching this clip?

  • I think I will back it up, anyway. Hyperactivity is the natural response of the human to controlled enviroment situations, for example kids were never meant by nature to sit in a classroom and pay attention to the teacher. Kids were meant to run around, play, discover. It's not a mental disease/disorder that some kids do not adapt well to unnatural situations, the education dynamics should just be better, not just say your kid has an Attention Deficit disorder.

  • If you were describing Psychiatry (which you were a little closer to describing than Psychology) you could add 200 - 300% more to your bill, being prescribed medications that cause more side-effects than fixing problems, and an unusually co-dependent relationship with a stranger that only got into that field in order to help them understand why they are so fucked up on the inside (inner pathology).

    My step-dad is a Psychologist... but he didn't tell me any of that. I had to figure it out myself

  • this epi failed....

  • Here's my evaluation of Freud -- a pervert that liked to use the coping mechanism of "projection" to explain his feelings. eg: saying other little boys are sexually attracted to their mothers/want to kill their fathers when he was actually the psychopath with an "oedipus complex".

  • @tool987ja You're in denial...well that's what he'd say

  • As stated, psychology may be a very misleading science. One of the reasons for this is that all conclusions and theories are created inductively. Trying to define a human being's behavior, emotions, and everything else, through science is a complicated, if not impossible task. One of the reasons why is because there is still no acceptable theory of life itself. And this is not just about psychology. All modern sciences often exclude very important factors they know little about.

  • chemistry is not a science. hate chemistry. it's only a hard science when it overlaps with physics.

    cognitive science is legit. studying brains is cool

  • Hmm... Watched a few of your videos and I thought to myself "Wow... This guy is so amazing... Too bad he has a girlfriend......."

    And then I realised something.

    I'm a guy.. And I'm not gay.

    In that order.

    I would officially turn gay for you.

  • @Avalanche341 lol

  • Comment removed

  • LOL! "NEED SUBSCRIBE FOR FOOD" subliminal messaging much?

  • Psychology works when people say the truth and is real, so your problem might be because 2 years ago a blonde woman said no to you rudely or dislike lasagna because it remembers you of your fat brother. Lazy psychologists put father, big name non-existent diseases. For example hyperactive people is bs. High desire of revenge is not. You gotta analyse what's real.

  • @AlvarTV That makes absolutely no sense.

  • @kekelekers What I meant is that psychology works if you address particular issues that can greatly affect us, not just your typical parent traumas. This guy does psychology too but on a more deeper level than the usual but its psychology either way.

  • @AlvarTV What do you mean parent traumas?

    Trauma is trauma regardless of how you look at it. And i certainly wouldn't imagine them to be typical... You still make no sense.

  • @kekelekers Parent traumas? Use a little comprehension. Trauma of course is trauma but what I meant by parent trauma is a trauma caused by a parent, and just like a parent can cause you a trauma a lot of other things can, I thought I was pretty clear. If this wasn't true, friend advice wouldn't make sense as friends help you go through the traumas of life.

  • @kekelekers Also, if you think parent traumas aren't typical I suggest you get in touch with other people's reality 'cause parent traumas play a big role in our current society crisis.

  • @AlvarTV You just completely contradicted yourself by saying that! Every disorder, from hyperactivity to parent traumas is significant in diagnosing the individuals psyche. Completely disregarding them and calling on bs is ignorant on your behalf.

  • @kekelekers When did I disregard them? What I said is that most psychologists are bad! And that psychology actually works when you address the specific issues. Hyperactive people is BULLSHIT because a person that is "hyperactive" is "hyperactive" for a reason, doctors usually decide to go on with the pills, however you're treating THE SYMPTOMS, not the cause of the problem. Also parent traumas are not just traumas, a father or mother play a a big role in the child's head, and parent (cont'd)

  • @kekelekers and parents misbehaviour can be so subtle that it can affect the head in different ways. Even "post-traumatic" disorder is bullshit, of course someone is traumatized after a big bad event, but this big bad event opens doors of the head most people never open in their life if they are "normal" this events require a SUPERIOR psychology to address the specific matters that have been compromised in the head. What is your point anyway? Just disagreeing with me?

  • @AlvarTV I thought I could have a discussion with you but I find that your ideas are somewhat ignorant and primitive. In any case, have a wonderful day..

  • @kekelekers Nah, you're just disagreeing with me presenting zero arguments and pure cheap rhetorics. You're totally judgemental. And man, I think you should take care of your words, 'cause you're falling in the ignorant department there, my ignorant and primitive ideas tend to help psychologically more people than psychologists do, proven. ;)

  • @kekelekers Also, to prove you're total bullshit, the first thing your replied to me was "That makes absolutely no sense". Does that look like someone trying to have a discussion? No, that looks like someone who wants you to shut up but simply doesn't have any kind argument, in the other comments you still didn't believe anything of what I said made sense, I was contradicting myself, etc. That's not a discussion, that's a "shut up, you stupid", you cheap manipulator. PS Hyperactivity is still bs

  • And I'm not saying names - Fraud - But I do hope I didn't offend any psychologists watching this.

    Nice one.

  • replace YOU in youtube to MYPRIZE and push enter

  • subliminal subscribe lol :D too late i already did

  • those who think psychology is not a science are wrong. it has all the elements of proper modern science. psychology also helps many people. if u find that after going for therapy u feel worse and feel like old issues have been brought up again which u got over already, u clearly haven't gotten over them yet. And neurology can't answer all the questions we have about human behaviour and the mind right now. ppl should do their research.

  • YOU. ARE. SO. RIGHT.

    I've been thinking this to myself so many times. In modern times, basically all we need is neurology, because it really can figure out the reasons for why the brain works certain ways. Psychology is just... too much fantasy. IMHO.

    Just like we don't really need philosophy anymore because now we've got physics, and physics just works better for finding out the truth.

  • I went to Clinical Psychology to deal with my depression about 6 months ago, since then I've started self harm, suicide attemps and right now i'm batteling anorexcia (yeh, you're judging me already :P )

    What dean said is absolutly true, I was trying to deal with all the shit going on, then I went to psychology and then stuff I'd gotten over years ago ( E.g losing my father) then re-inventing a problem that I had put behind me, i'm still trying to deal with that mistake now

  • Why is it "science" at all, in that case? Is it because it has a relationship to Psychiatry, which is a hard science? And there are other 'soft sciences,' no? Journalism? Communication? Political Science? Sociology? Anthropology? Why not use one of them to illustrate, here?

  • @TheRealRedFlashlight why the hell do you think Psychiatry is a hard science?

  • Brad Sucks is so awesome

    

  • I'm totally with u on this one!!!

    This is Ur best video yet ;)

    Keep em comin!

    So true!

  • Boo-ya?

  • haha hell yeah! i'm gonna show this to my psychology teacher!

  • lmao...love your subliminal subscribe in the video

  • yeah, freud!

  • I was a psych major in college, and I no longer believe that it is science of any kind. It's about as scientific as belief in alien abduction.

  • i was just watching Furious... this is so different if makes my head hurt :S

  • Man, your always talking about the right stuff and explaining very logicaly, and intuativly what is probably right and bring a quick understandable comprehenceability to shit in our daily life.

    But bro, you totally NAILED this one, the last part was unbelievably right, awesome and the part after increadibly funny, peace and love.

  • @TheHetgebruindepaard Dude usually this guy is the shit, I know, but anyone who cites freud as more than a joke in modern psychology has never gotten any education in this subject....I agree with this dude 99% of the time, but psychological research goes through extremely rigorous scientific criteria, in order to even have a chance of being validated. Ive heard this argument before (tho usually not so eloquent), and its always from people who have very little understanding of modern psych...

  • @fergie123able "Ive heard this argument before, and its always from people who have very little understanding of modern psych" Falacy much?

  • @TheHetgebruindepaard how is it a fallacy? It's highlighting antiquated views of psychology as what the field is today, notably freudian theory, (which is BS) and its ignoring the scientific processes psychological research (VALID psych research) goes through. He's arguing from an unbalanced and inaccurate standpoint on psych

  • @fergie123able I don't think you understand what I'm saying, maybe it is my fault for not being accurate enough, but I believe my points are pretty clear, and not open for multiple interpertations. I don't know why you want to argue with me about this, I never said anything that you needed to negate, and absolutly did not say I don't believe in psychology as a field of study (I guess, since the severe reaction, something you participate in? ) But I do believe in proper argumentation, u didn't.

  • U didn't just do that. I will accept anything you say about psychology becasue frankly I'm not schooled in the art of braining about braining, and you seem like you know your subject ( I could be wrong here, but that's not the point) If you see a lot of the Leysen-brothers vids, you will notice that their subjects aren't too deep of a matter and if they talk about subject A anybody with a university degree in A can some say that what they say is redudant FOR THEM, but.

  • This is not necceraly so for people with a degree in B C or without a degree at all. They keep to basics, yes, but this also shows that it's so invalueble to know and fully understand these basics. In this example, there are still a lot off people who get misdiagnosed because they folly believe in the expertise of their shrinks, who are only human too. Freudian books still sell. This is not meant to be a forum for experts, rather a well-phrased tought-proces of an insightfull individual.

  • @TheHetgebruindepaard i understand what youre saying now im sorry if i came across as rude, its just this guy is popular (for good reasons i think) and a lot of people listen to him and it just seems he's disseminating a view of psychology that is frankly inaccurate, thats all. And i think its ok for me to give my own opinions based off my experiences in psychology, since people seem to be expressing their own opinions with what seems like little experience based on the freudian references.

  • @TheHetgebruindepaard im not saying i have all the answers, and that im the shit when it comes to psych, im simply trying to dispel popular and inaccurate conceptions of what psychology is. I am not an 'expert' by any means, but it seems (having been in and out of the field), my experiences might be valuable as input, for some who believe psychology is as he describes above. Freud is an idiot, i know lol

  • are DeanLeysen and OGFurious the same person??

    does he have other channels?

  • as of right now, physics is an incomplete science as well because there contradicting principles between the micro and macro world. that being said, the observations and conclusions we make about certain phenomena in physics are essentially based on incomplete information. on top of that, many of the principles of quantum mechanics are simply theoretically based. however physicists are still able to make somewhat accurate predictions about the world around us based on incomplete information.

  • Psychology is mostly "wrong" or a "problem when people want to proof to themselves how intelligent they are, which turns - most of the time - out as bullshit. But that is the case in every science, I guess.

    Nice video (=

  • First of all,excuse for my bad english.

    I always watch your vids, Dean and i enjoyed it all of them, but not this one. Anyone is perfect in any profession. Do you know that psichology has helped many people? Dislexic person, old people, attention deficit kids.. All you care is that psichology is a soft science? I don't know, is your oppinion, not the absolut truth.

    I always believed that your vids are not made for positioning against anyone, but right now i don't know what to think.

  • This is the only video of you that I don't really like. And your answers aren't that much better. You say there aren't perfect psychologists out there... well, nobody is perfect in any profession, so you could be doing video blogs about all professions....

  • @CamiloFrusciante and you didn't BOOYAH.

  • 14 people are psychotherapists....

  • Can you PLEASE do a video on NLP and your thoughts on it? Please thumbs up so he can see! XD

  • I can comprehend OGFurious much better. :( lawls

  • ahhh so its like the media saying what happened on 9/11 :P

  • What are ways to be more self aware and how to focus on something better and longer?

  • You should become a professor or something. I feel like you'd be an amazing teacher.

  • I like your sister, man^^

  • Gangsters are mad smart...

  • is this the same black dude from OGfurious?

  • Have you read a book called, "Mapping The Mind" by Rita Carter

    If you havent i suggest it it goes into very deep detail about different part in the brain

    and has lots of good diagrams

  • can you explain schrödinger's cat theory?

  • I ate ma people!

  • what's up with all the myprize comments

  • explain god

  • change YOU within youtube to MYPRIZE then push enter

  • psycho-wut? ._.

  • dude you are awesome

  • emotions can't be measured accurately at all in terms of numbers or the like. It's determined to be a "soft" science because of the nature of what it studies. I can see it to be in no means perfect but it's best tool we have. The best way we come to a conclusion on something is to analyze evidence and draw a conclusion from said evidence. If the evidence gained is not able to be measured or trusted the conclusion is not going to be perfect :)

  • Both of your computers are on, you energy-spoiling man !

  • Freudian slip there? Haha

  • need subscribes for food lol

  • I love the witty last-liners on your videos xD

  • Can you explain bipolar disorder pls xD Hearing a lot about it.

  • Genius

  • Wow.... You're actually just a nice guy who knows his shit. Huh. Fancy that.

  • @slowzen AND HE'S HOT!
