Document Summary
His psychoanalysis is important in explaining many parts of society. Unaware of how much of a product we are of sigmund freud. Understanding of dreams is a secret road to the understanding of the unconscious: we forget unpleasant kinds of things when we are very young-very deep in our unconscious. We know we have an unconscious when something doesn"t feel right-e. g. uncontrollable anxiety is sympathetic of repressed memories. Most of us don"t have chemical imbalances. Most of us are plain, ordinary folk who get messed up in erotic and ordinary life-neurosis; character disorder: disorders in living. Women should not be ignored people should talk through these disorders. Modern, psychological hobbesian children can be terrible. We manufacture feelings from the moment we are born: sensing beings. We have inside of us time bombs if feelings are unresolved can"t predict if we"ll be unhappy or full of incapacity in the future. Freud argues religion attempts to explain what"s inside of us.
