I sometimes wonder what if Freud was alive today.
As a mental health professional who enjoys psychoanalytical ideas more than I should, I sometimes wonder what if Freud was alive today. Well, more accurately, what if he was raised from the dead and came to see how psychoanalysis has evolved over time, public and professional opinion of it, and all the new types of therapy that are all the rage (CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness). How would he make sense of all these societal changes from the perspective of classical psychoanalysis?
