The Funky Cat’s Reviews > Introduction to psychoanalysis: Lectures for child analysts and teachers, 1922-1935 > Status Update

guys i'm no academic but something's seriously wrong with the freuds. it's so bullshit. oh this two year old kid's mom told me that he once pretended to be in pain after seeing a bucket fall into a well, so this is OBVIOUSLY related to his fear of castration and attachment to his penis, like WHAT. the whole thing feels incredibly unscientific.

summary so far
- acc to this a surprising amount of children like to eat poop
- melanie klein is really wrong
- 9 year olds apparently used to address their therapist with their full name
definitely some moments where i find myself relating and nodding vigorously; others massively bizarre.
