Clinical Psychology Part 1: Sigmund Freud and Psychoanalysis

[@quantumcarnival]

I feel like Freud’s biggest contribution to modern psychology is that everybody was so determined to prove him wrong that they actually came up with good ideas.

[@antonchigurh2514]

🤯

[@br1qbat]

Freud was an applied philosopher. He thought up his ideas and then went about trying to shoehorn 'evidence' into his already developed idea. His only value was taking psychology in the vague direction of science. I read Freud's books on dreams. Interesting ideas, but over and over the refrain of "how do you know that?" echoes in my head.

[@shaneburke4826]

philosophy isn’t just “thinking up” ideas. Good philosophy tries to understand the conditions of knowledge, the conditions of truth, of receiving sense information, and so on. Even “grounded theory” or empiricist philosophies still presuppose much about epistemology and metaphysics.

[@lordmaximus5]

Huge understatement that his only contributions were developing psychology as a science. You sound like someone that worships science and can't understand anything that doesn't fit the empirical framework

[@thephantomeagle2]

@@br1qbat his ideas were groundbreaking for the time he lived. Without him we might not be where we are. Freud helped people realize that mental illness wasn’t unsolvable. It wasn’t mysterious anymore. It wasn’t a fantasy or things that we can’t explain.

I learned to distance myself from the Freudian vision of the human psyche. He jump-started the whole clinical psychology field and that was a good thing, but his original vision was very raw and - I think - quickly outdated by the works of Carl Jung and many other brilliant minds that came after. I have the feeling Freud himself wasn't a very nice guy, he ironically lacked empathy and was full of himself.

[@Zookeeper.]

@@RichardKoenigsberg Hello, many trained psychiatrist today believes in the DSM-5. I used to, paid my price, figured it out and corrected my perspective. All is well, repaired for me and many of my friends. The DSM is a scientific story, evolving. What makes you think it is forever as is? Don't you want to help moving forward like me, you know, one step at a time? Help create V6 and the next ones? I meet some trained psychologists on Monday, I think I can help at my humble level, as a recovering "desaxed".

Thanks, this was interesting. I think it would be useful to note that freud's ideas changed during the course of his career. He outlined the function of the Id, ego and super-ego in later writings. What interests me is how these are quite close to CBT. He saw fantasy and the Id as distorting a client's perception of reality. The aim of psychoanalysis became lessening these distortions.

[@BuJammy]

Freud got things wrong, but what's amazing is just how much he got right, in his early years, simply working with a small amount of clients in Vienna.

Professor, if you read this, as a fellow teacher please don’t stop with 120 year old psychiatry. To start with Psychology as opposed to with the ideas of a medical physician, start with William James. Yes, all should know a bit of Freud since his terminology is used to this day. However, today’s psychology (not psychiatry) in the form of cognitive behavioral psychology and emotional intelligence is as far away from Freud as Galileo is from Ptolemy. You teach facts. If you mean to teach Psychology, please differentiate between the field as it is in the 21st century and the history of psychological ideas-for which we can go back to the Greeks. Summarizing CBT and explaining EI would be of enormous, immediate, pragmatic benefit to your viewers.

Which specific conclusions fit which particular categories I can't say now. All this was a long time ago.

[@gabrielhodinik5981]

Dave, you continue to surprise me when it comes to your research and way of delivering content to us, that's why I've been a long-time viewer of yours. As a psychologyst myself, just wanted to point out one little thing that might concern the content you've so magestfully brought us today. The Electra Complex is NOT a Freudian idea nor is it mentioned in any freudian text; it is a junguian ideia. What we will find, whowever, is Freud referring to the girl's side of the Oedipux Complex as the Feminine Oedipus. (I'm not quite sure how it is named in English, I've read Freud in portuguese for my whole life since I'm brazilian.) That said, there's only one thing that has not been explained in this video and I think is essencial for discussing Freud's ideias. That being the word "sexual" in his theory. That word has a whole different meaning when we're looking through psychoanalysis lens. Sexual and sexuality are two different concepts. Sexual means: "everything that can bring you pleasure", sexuality is, more preciseley, the stages and every thought that happens in each and every stage. That's why we call it the "psychosexual theory". This is largely covered in his book "Three Essays on the Therory of Sexuality" (1905). That's why it can sound a little outstanding to the average viewer knowing that the child "discovers" masturbation. That concept is intrinsic to the sexual concept. That's a way to create tension and then remove said tension. Another little thing is that the phallic stage is not centered in the genitals; it is, however, centered in the genital AREA. This stage is called "phallic" stage due to the concept of the "phallus" far too complex to fit in a KZbin comment. The genital stage is, of course, centered around the genitals. About the "heteronormative" affirmation towards the end, you're correct. Though Freud explained that as his concept of "inversion" and it is NOT a sexual aberration. The way he goes about it is saying that everything regarding sex that's not going to reproduce the species is a "perversion". Knowing that, we can confidently say that oral sex, for exemple, is a form of perversion. Of course we'd need to discuss perversion as whole, but for now, that's just a little bit of extra information. These are some of Freud's texts that can help us understand a little bit more about what I said. Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905); Remembering, Repeating and Working-Through (1914); On Narcissism: An Introduction (1914); Instincs and their vicissitudes (1915); The Dissolution of the Oedipus Complex (1924); Thank you so much for this video, I really appreciate your work and everything you bring to the table. You're amazing.

He wasn’t wrong, per se, he was just living in a different time. Look at Gravity, for example. There only one gravity. However people talk about Newtonian Gravity and Einsteinien gravity. These are the same exact thing it’s just that Newton didn’t know about relativity, but Einstein did. It, quite literally, was the force behind advancements in the theory of Gravity. Freud’s theories and ideas have pretty much all been replaced. I’m fact many of Freud’s theories seem crazy by modern standards. However, science psychiatry, psychology, And therapy have advanced almost exponentially( loose term). All thee advancements don’t take anything away from Freud’s influence. Without Freud’s work and influence Maslow, Pavlov, Schrödinger, Schopenhauer(cough cough) and others wouldn’t have a had the head start and foundations to create their theories.

Another important and underexplained bit of Freudian history is his original "Seduction Hypothesis", which is basically the concept that all mental illness is because of repressed memories of CSA, prior to his development of the Psychosexual stages. Basically, he swung from believing everyone had been abused as children and were unaware of it, to a theory that all children fantasize about sexual activities with caregivers. It's a controversial and heavily argued area, but it gives some needed context.

[@danielx555]

Just the way that licensure works in the United States, a clinical psychologist unfortunately is the last person to provide psychotherapy in most areas. Clinical psych people go through extensive psychometric training, and a lot of them do nothing but administer standardized tests. Psychotherapy tends to be more frequently delivered by social workers and people with an MS or MA in psychology, rather than by a clinical psychologist per se. A person cannot practice as a psychologist in the United States unless they have a doctorate. In my little part of the world, for instance, we have dozens of psychology trained psychotherapists and several more dozen social workers who deliver psychotherapy. And we have two clinical psych people, and they do nothing but diagnose and give assessments. In theory, clinical psychology is the discipline that examines this material, but in practice, psychotherapy actually comes from counseling departments and from social work departments. And of course medical school where psychiatrists are trained.

[@danielx555]

Assessments and diagnosis and administering standardized tests are far more lucrative than psychotherapy, too. If you do assessments for ADHD and autism, you will make three or four times as much each day as you would if you are delivering psychotherapy sessions. I think money pushes clinical psych people away from psychotherapy.

[@danielx555]

I will also note that clinical psych people occupy the lowest rung of the APA. The APA values researchers and professors and organizations, it promotes research and gives awards to researchers, and it ignores and talks down to people who actually have face to face contact with patients or clients. It has been this way in psychology for a long time. Research is high value, and clinical interactions are an afterthought in psychology. Another way to look at this is: 95% of people in psychology are engaged in clinical work, and the message they get from the APA is that they don't matter. Clinical psych doesn't really get a lot of respect in the professional organizations. This is why counseling and social workers separated from psychology decades ago.

Sigmund Freud was a nutty coke head. His drug habits were pretty amazing, and he wrote a lot about his medicinal use of cocaine and many of the other substances available in pharmacies in the 19th Century. It's absolutely fascinating reading. Not sure how it is in the States, but clinical psychologists in Australia are dangerously under qualified (as well as dangerously inaccessible). Many have an overtly prescriptive style of "therapy" that work for some, but sets most up for failure. Medical psychotherapy - so, an actual doctor - is a FAR more constructive approach. Divorcing mind and body is a BIG mistake, and clinical psychologists' ignorance of physiology makes them further inefficacious. But the big issue is access; the public healthcare system won't provide any more than ten sessions with a clinical psychologist and NONE with a psychiatrist or psychotherapist (though, they are subsidised), thus leaving assessment and prescribing in the hands of general practitioners, who obviously don't have any specialised training in psychiatry. It's pathetic. How does someone in the States access free mental health ca- ... whoops, ah, never mind. Where did you hang the graphene gift from James Tour?

[@padarousou]

Sounds like his partiality towards stimulants is similar to academics today with caffeine. I'm sure if coke was readily available and not stigmatized similar to Freud's time, it would be just as popular so cant really hold that against him. The problem with the medical approach to treating psychological conditions is it relies too much on medicine as a remedy, which we are learning more and more can be detrimental to one's overall health in the long term. Its useful for treating symptoms, just like painkillers are useful for alleviating inflammation for example, but taking painkillers every day for years takes a toll on your body and inflammation can be alleviated holistically which is much better for the long term. The same goes for the majority of psychological conditions.

. "Psychoanalysis is a futile exercise because it changes nothing: it does not create a new man, it does not bring peace to you. In fact even the founders of psychoanalysis like Sigmund Freud were so much afraid of death that you cannot believe it. No normal being is so afraid of death. The founder of psychoanalysis was so afraid that even the word “death” was not to be pronounced in front of him - it was taboo. It was not to be talked about. Three times it had happened that somebody mentioned death and Sigmund Freud fell in a swoon, in a fit, became unconscious. He was so afraid of death that he avoided going to any cemetery, he avoided going to anybody who was dying, even a friend or disciple. Wherever there was anything concerning death he was absolutely panicked - and this man gives you psychoanalysis! His problems are not solved. He gets angry just like anybody else. He is jealous, more jealous than anybody else. He is greedy. He wants to monopolize, he wants to dominate people. He creates almost an empire of psychoanalysts around the world, but everybody has to repeat like parrots whatever he says. Anybody who says anything different is immediately expelled. It seems it is not science but a political party or a fanatic religion - not scientific research. And the same is true about Jung. Jung came to India to meet someone… because in the East people have been working on the mind for thousands of years. But they have never developed anything like psychoanalysis; they developed meditation - a totally different approach. What is the use of analyzing the rubbish of the mind? - sorting it out… it takes years. There are people who have been in psychoanalysis for fifteen years and they have reached nowhere. They have changed their psychoanalyst in the hope that perhaps somebody else will help, but they have not reached anywhere else. They cannot, because all that psychoanalysis does - all the schools, whether Adlerian or Jungian or Freudian - is to sort out the rubbish of your mind, interpret it according to their minds. And what is the point of it all? In the East we have not developed psychoanalysis, we have developed meditation. Meditation simply takes you away from the garbage, takes you beyond the garbage - it is not worth bothering about. And if you want to bother about it you can go on bothering for lives. You will not come to an end. But just being a witness to your mind, without doing anything to the mind - just being aloof, just seeing it as if thoughts are moving on a screen and simply watching it without any judgment of good and bad - a strange experience happens: thoughts slowly start disappearing. Soon a moment comes when there is only an empty screen - no thoughts. And when there is no object, no thought for your consciousness, it turns back upon itself because there is nothing preventing it; that is exactly the meaning of the word ‘object’ - it prevents, it objects. When there is no object the consciousness goes… and just as everything moves in circles in existence, consciousness also moves in a circle. It comes back upon its own source. And the meeting of the consciousness with its own source is the explosion of light, the greatest celebration that a man is capable of, the greatest orgasmic experience. And it is not something that happens and is finished. No, once it has happened, it continues. It remains with you. It becomes almost like your breathing. You live in it twenty-four hours a day. Jung had come to India in search of someone, to find out what the East has done to create so many people like Gautam Buddha - not one but hundreds who have gone beyond mind and all its troubles and problems, worries, anxieties. What is the secret? He was going to universities, meeting psychoanalysts, and everywhere he was told, “You are wasting your time. These people are not the right people. These people have gone to the West to learn psychoanalysis and they are teaching psychoanalysis in the universities. You have come to search and seek somebody who is absolutely untouched by the West. And there is a man.” And there was a man - Shri Raman Maharshi. Wherever Jung went - and he was there for three months - everywhere the same name was given to him. “Go to Arunachal in South India and meet this man who is uneducated, who knows nothing of psychoanalysis; he is the man the East has been able to produce. Just go and sit with him and talk with him and listen to him. If you have some questions, ask him.” But you will be surprised: Jung never went there. And later on, feeling that he will be criticized, Jung wrote, “I consideredly did not go to Raman Maharshi because the East has its own way, the West has its own way, and they should not be mixed” - just to protect himself from criticism. Then why did he go to India at all? He was told again and again to go to a man who was available, which is rare, and he did not go there, although he went up to Madras, from where it was only a two hour journey to Arunachal! Jung did not go to the man, whom just by meeting he would have seen how a clear man is, how a man is who has cleaned his mind completely - his eyes, his gestures, his words, his authority. He does not quote scriptures, he knows himself. Jung did not go there, and he himself felt guilty. To defend himself he started writing that the East and the West have different ways. This is nonsense, because man - whether in the East or in the West - is the same. And it is strange that he was teaching Eastern students Western psychology. He should have refused because this is mixing East and West. If he was really honest then he should have said, “You go back to the East.” He was teaching Eastern students Western psychology, but he was not ready to go to an Eastern meditator, just to meet him. What is the fear? The fear is that Jung is as normal a person as you are - just knowledgeable. He has gathered from books, but he has no authentic experience of his own. Western psychoanalysis is just a business. It is cheating people. It is simply exploiting people without any help, and because there is no other alternative people have to go to it. The psychoanalysts themselves go to other psychoanalysts. And psychoanalysts go mad more than any other profession! They commit suicide more than any other profession; they are more perverted in every way than any other profession. It is a very strange phenomenon. It is not a science at all, it is just a fiction. But it has become a big profession."

I would bet Frueds weird and un scientific ideas came from his cocaine use. Hopefully you describe how his drug use impacted his ideas

[@wilhelmvonn9619]

​@@RichardKoenigsberg Freud's cocaine use is well documented, although his admirers don't like to talk about it.

Carl Jung next!

But most of their theories are not very scientific.

[@think_of_a_storyboard3635]

so if I'm understanding this correctly, Freud believed that girls desired their fathers, but realized they could never have them because they didn't have a penis, and then blamed their mother because they don't have a penis. what the hell was this dude on?

do the fathers in this world only like people with penises?

In 1960 the did prove the super Ed go development of women. Most all psychoanalysisst agree with Freud. Freud never accepted the "Electra" complex theory. Thats from Jung.

[@padarousou]

Even from today's standards its weird.. imagine what people thought over 100 years ago when he first proposed these things

[@padarousou]

@@RichardKoenigsberg People are animals and animals have those instincts so of course its gonna exist, its what keeps our species alive. But Freud's theory of psychosexual development is patently absurd even psychologists don't take it seriously

To be honest, I really don’t think the cognitive theories have superseded Freudian and Jungian ideas.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Much of Freud is obsolete. Nobody subscribes to psychosexual stages.

Freud was a hack and the popularity of his "theories" is really unfortunate.

[@ThangPVan_]

So far I still can't stand about "psychosexual development"

[@HalosOpulence]

Maternal Masculinity Complex *This is a self-published theory based on the absurd theories of Freud’s Electra Complex and Oedipus Complex.* Boys without father figures often don't experience the Oedipus complex. Instead, they tend to look up to the strongest figure in their life, which is usually their mother. As a result, they may develop aversion towards their own masculinity and experience negative emotions influenced by their mother, especially if she holds feminist beliefs. Consequently, they strive to adopt a false sense of masculinity modeled after their mother, rather than building a solid understanding of genuine masculinity. Since there isn't a strong male figure to fear and emulate, they try to become the female figure they admire, rather than learning from and feeling jealous of a father's gender traits.

Mental illness- you are not entirely right - psychosomatic illness is how psychoanalysis began.

Freud attained his revolutionary "insights" by getting high as a kite on cocaine. That tells you how valuable his theories are.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

@@RichardKoenigsberg Um, physics and psychology do not share the same level of empirical rigor, bud. Go ahead and make a case for debunked Freudian beliefs being the same as relativity. I could use a good laugh.

@@RichardKoenigsberg Yeah, that's not relevant whatsoever, chief. It's the history of psychology.

[@drunkenhobo8020]

It's crazy how much of psychoanalysis and psychology in general has proven about 20 years later to be absolute nonsense. Phrenology, everything Freud did, lobotomies, somatotypes, repressed memories... the list goes on. But I'm totally sure we've got it right this time, and our current psychological beliefs are definitely not just the ravings of a madman with an unhealthy obsession with kids.
