Some of his ideas have advanced the field of psychology and some of his ideas have little support in the psychological community. Reading an introductory psychology textbook (Bernstein, Weiten, Gray, Myers) and an introductory neuroscience textbook (Purves, Bear. Pinel and Gazzaniga author texts preferred by psychology depts which cover the same material as Purves and Bear) may introduce you to the limits of psychotherapy and the degree to which our personalities are biologically hardwired. You certainly have a passion for the subject, but you need to update your philosophical foundations and beef up your factual knowledge. For example, there is plenty of exciting research refuting your claim that children are selfish. On the contrary, humans are innately eager to help others and this behavior manifests in infancy. These findings suggest why our species is dominant over other species (that and thumbs).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10269','Andy'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10269','Andy','Freud may be a brilliant and seductive writer, but his ideas are over half a century old.
