  • 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.

  • Freud was 1 of the biggest frauds in history.

  • Wonderful to listen to Professor Crews. Thank you.

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