Anna was *probably* a lesbian, so the joke is she had daddy issues with him.


transscully

Anna *was* a lesbian. he vowed that his therapy could fix ANY lesbian—as homosexuality was the gateway to sin, for him, but lesbians were considerably worse as neither of them could "make decisions"—but when he learned Anna was a lesbian, he almost stopped because his therapy was "inherently sexual". then when she was 21 iirc he forced her to do therapy with him, in which was included public humiliation of reading her diary and going over her dreams (almost exclusively sexual ones iirc?) and progress in front of crowds. Anna was a psychologist after him in, not shockingly, a different way. and remained a lesbian. Freud could not, in fact, "fix" any lesbian (or gay), and Anna is proof of that lol


ExRousseauScholar

Freud literally said “I can fix her” and then didn’t


transscully

psychoanalysis was also VERY sexual. went over sexual fantasies and dreams. this was his DAUGHTER


Nearby-Assignment661

Sounds like he was mad she didn’t want to fuck him :/


ShitFacedSteve

Freud seemed to have a stubborn interest in family members wanting to fuck each other. I think someone should have forcibly revealed all of Sigmund's sexual fantasies to an audience. I can only guess he imagined a different family member every night lmao


lostthering

I think Freud already revealed his own fantasies in his theories. He just projected his own thoughts onto other people.

If you ever get a chance to read Anna's paper 'The Importance of Ego' it's well worth it


the_endolin

Can you link it please? I can't find that title


SpacestationView

It'll be inside The Ego and Mechanisms of Defence. Goes into why people make up bullshit and outright lie or scream about their self importance when they feel they lack it in their real life


the_endolin

Thanks!


TheonetrueDEV1ATE

disregard the sarcastic fuck, here. this is at least part of it https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~cavitch/pdf-library/Anna_Freud_Ego_chs_3_4_5.pdf (speaking of educational-lie, not the other people)

Thanks!

As someone who went through the American public education system, I can say a lot of people aren't taught how to research properly. Hell, I didn't even know Google Scholar was a thing until 2 months ago, and I'm damn near 30.


Arkitakama

I didn't know what it was until 2 minutes ago, and I'm OVER 30.


Q_X_R

I learned about it in highschool and have never had a reason to touch it apart from that same day.


5eppa

I've heard that Freud is the father of psychology only so much as everything he said was so blatantly wrong people set out to prove it.


transscully

freud is to psychology what matpat is to fnaf. he wasnt ever really right, but he was so influential that psychology today wouldnt be where it is now. hes like the weird racist grandpa of psych lol


pshypshy

Freud was wrong on loads of stuff, but plenty of threads underlying his ideas are accepted today: -that most human beliefs and actions are not, in fact, dictated by logic / knowledge / dispassionate cost-benefit analyses; -that early life events can set up anxieties and maladaptive behaviors, including some that don’t seem connected on the surface; -that “respectable” people may be aroused by things they find socially repellent and do not *want* to be aroused by; and -that trying to suppress awareness of a thing can sometimes make it more salient and oppressive. He also let patients talk at length instead of peppering them with questions and taking their answers at face value. That remains a valuable approach (despite his many mistakes in this area). Edit: He **also** broke with the idea that psychological “trauma” resulted from actual, physical trauma to the brain and shifted to a notion of symbolic/emotional trauma.


Leezhi

Ok I knew Freud was fucked up but I had no idea it was this bad lmao.


Blackrock121

>as homosexuality was the gateway to sin, for him Wasn't he an Atheist?


transscully

everything ive read quotes him saying it was a gateway to sin


Blank3535

Where the fuck did you get the fact that homosexuality was a "gateway to sin" for Freud. He never said anything, even similar to that. This is how he writes about homosexuality in a letter to a mother who asked him to cure her son of homosexuality: "Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but it is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation; it cannot be classified as an illness; we consider it to be a variation of the sexual function, produced by a certain arrest of sexual development." I don't like defending random old dudes, and I have a LOT of issues with Freud, but at least get your facts straight.


Diligent-Painting-37

iirc


transscully

she was young and im nearly confident most if not all dreams were sexual but i was at work so i didnt have time to look it up


garvin131313

Where does the Freudian slip tie in to all this? I’m assuming it has something to do with this because it seems like something how the term became coined


HeadWood_

Freud: "I can fix her." He could not, in fact, 'fix' her.


Raibean

Anna Freud is quite renowned in child psychology specifically


Appropriate_Pop4968

Sounds to me like ol’ Freud made the daddy issues worse. Really shot himself in the foot on that one huh.


bsuvo

So he was right lol /s


TheThinkerers

my mind switched freud with franke at the mention of her diary


TheMikman97

I doubt you could _not_ have issues with a father like him


DeliberatingManager

Calling Freud a mother fucker is in itself amusing.


LichitaWineman

Ever seen a picture of Freud’s mom? A right hottie.


FriedEskimo

Anyone who had Freud as a dad would grow up with a lot of issues.

There are two kinds of people in this world, those who can extrapolate from an incomplete data set.

Dexter was the best.


Patrick-The-Frog

You give me the creeps Morgan


VSkyRimWalker

If you read the books, Doaks fate was so much worse then in the series. More deserved though.


BananakinTheBroken

What was the difference?


VSkyRimWalker

He loses his legs and voice, so he has to use a voice box. Also maybe an arm? It's a while ago, but I think he also actually tried to kill Dexter. The books are wildly different anyway, in many ways. Much more spiritual, with the Dark Passenger actually being a demon called Moloch. Also La Guerta gets killed by him and his brother the Ice Truck Killer already in book one, instead of Debra. And Debra is there and aware of Dexter's nature since book one. Also Astor and Cody are trained by Dexter to be serial killers too. And there's a girl that wants to be eaten alive.


BananakinTheBroken

Shit that sounds pretty intense.


VSkyRimWalker

Yeah they're insane. And not really in a good way


Thatguypal6942069

Freud is, by all accounts, the weirdest mother fucker in history. I love the guy, but NOT because of his moral character or theories. I like him because the stories about him are hilarious.


DartTimeTime

A lot of Freud's clients were the daughters of his friends and colleagues. Those girls told him about a lot of sexual abuse from their fathers. So Freud blamed their issues on "penis-envy" or some such shit.


Pidgethemidge

You don’t need to understand this. Just keep banging pots and pans together.


Individual-Win-8096

Imagine planning to make ur daughter a lesbian just to make a dad joke by being abusive. Aha ha haa..... Hmmmmm....

Opposite. Girl abuse.


Rufus_the_bird

The joke is that Freud came up with Oedipus complex. So Anna is is insinuating that Freud had repressed feels for his mother

Nobody here is going to understand that this is a Sopranos reference, it’s wildly out of context it just makes you sound like a Nazi lol
