  • Assignment No. 2 (Sigmund Freud)

    Freud's ideas faced significant criticism regarding several of his key concepts, including the universality of the Oedipus complex and the notion that child sexual trauma was almost universal. While Freud's work had a major impact and revolutionized thinking about the mind, very few of his specific ideas have been proven true by scientific research. As a scientist, Freud can be considered an innovator with a rich imagination, but his theories were largely unproven at the time. If alive today, Freud likely would not make major changes to his theory since he continually revised and updated his own work throughout his life to incorporate further developments by subsequent psychoanalysts.

    1. By looking for other sources and literature, what are the controversies or questions on
    Freud's ideas?

    Based on my research, Lots of material criticizing Freud's ideas. I like his little atheist pamphlet,
    but that doesn't cover his therapeutic notions. Try to find material about the break with Jung.
    One controversy was about the primacy of the Oedipus complex by Freud and it's rejection by
    Jung. Another was the notion that child sexual trauma was almost universal. The Totem and
    Taboo doesn't really capture what religion is about. ICivilization and it's Discontents is an
    interesting work, but does not convince in regard to the over-powering sexual urges of males.

    2. How can you describe Freudian ideas as a scientist?

    According to my research, Sigmund Freud can be consider as innovator with a rich imagination.
    His ideas back then was unproven and now it was backed up by scientific research which later
    proves it. Scientist says that Freud's ideas had a great impact outside the area of mental health.
    Also, His ideas were theories, or hypotheses. They truly revolutionized how people thought
    about the mind and consciousness, and had large impacts far outside the area of mental
    health.Very few of his ideas have been proven to be true by subsequent research.

    3.If Sigmund Freud was still alive, what do you think are the major changes he would make to
    his theory?

    Based on my research, there no need to revise because it's already perfect.


    Freud revised his own work four times through his life, adding lenght footnotes that openly
    contradicted and criticized his early ideas. In fact all his work in the 1930 is sort of a testament,
    a revision pointing to further developments that other psychoanalysts from new generation
    should lead on.
