Quotes by Richard Webster (?)

“Freud’s elaborate and implausible interpretation, far from bearing out his theory that all dreams are examples of wish-fulfilment, merely demonstrates that scientific theories which are unsupported by empirical evidence are themselves liable to become vehicles for wish-fulfilment.”
― Richard Webster, Why Freud Was Wrong: Sin, Science and Psychoanalysis

tags: 1995, interpretation-of-dreams, wish-fulfillment

“The habit of worshipping as a God a supreme being who by his very perfection commands obedience is, I believe, an extremely bad habit. But it is also, because of the very rigor and cruelty with which it has been inculcated into our culture over a period of centuries, one of the habits we are most likely to fall into.”
― Richard Webster, Why Freud Was Wrong: Sin, Science and Psychoanalysis
