Talk:Psychoanalysis

I feel like we should clarify that the "you want to have sex with your mother" thing was Freud's thing back in the day that he liked to "break down psyche" with. I know it's snark, but... how prevalent is that particular example today? Nullahnung (talk) 08:28, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, according to this article, it's "maintained through more or less all subsequent psychoanalysts". I have doubts about whether this is genuinely the case.  I suggest revising accordingly if you have some knowledge in this area.  09:25, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
 * What was meant was that the concept of an unconsciousness is maintained through more or less all subsequent psychoanalysts, which I don't dispute. What I question is to what extent Freud's theories in their original forms still hold in recent psychoanalysis. I am not very well-acquainted with the field, but I took a short class that introduced Freudian theory, so I edited the article accordingly. Anyone is welcome to challenge and revert me.
