Host Harry Kreisler welcomes critic and writer Frederick Crews as he describes his battles with conventional interpretations and his passion for the English language. Series: Conversations with History [Humanities] [Show ID: 8044]
Eric Kandel. MD. Neuroscientist, psychiatrist and nobel laureate: "Freud's theory of mind is still the most comprehensive although psychoanalysis needs to evolve and update methods".
Frederick Crews. Literary critic. "Freud just said things about penises and envy and did a lot of strange things and science so and so".
He has made a career fighting straw men and playing on a historical personality's personal weaknesses. It is just appalling.

Thank you for posting this. Crews is a bastion of clarity. His overview of the recent evolution/I.D controversy is reliably lucid.
