Talk:Sigmund Freud

Page contents not supported in other languages.

[edit]

I've removed the cut and paste from https://gettingpastyourpast.wordpress.com/mourning-theory in the Life and Death Drives section. As explained here I don't see a rewrite as necessary as the content was off-topic in the first place. Would be useful elsewhere in the article. Almanacer (talk) 11:51, 22 December 2016 (UTC

Criticism

[edit]

Freud has been very robustly criticised and his work has been rejected in part or in whole by modern psychology. You get no sense of that from reading this page which is extremely long and fairly hagiographic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebefl (talkcontribs) 14:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What you're describing is primarily on the Psychoanalysis page, but I agree that there isn't enough here since his legacy is so controversial. Pac-Man PHD (talk) 21:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Psychologists have not taken Freud seriously in scientific terms for a very long time, but then it's debatable whether psychology amounts to a science (an actual body of knowledge) anyway. Instead he is considered a cultural or literary figure, because he popularised the idea of the unconscious mind. Khamba Tendal (talk) 19:20, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you mean ".. it's debatable whether psychoanalysis amounts to a science..."? I don't see why modern psychology, particularly experimental psychology and cognitive psychology, should not be regarded as science. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:28, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts

[edit]

@Almanacer: Regarding this revert: what "content removal" specifically do you feel "needs further explanation on Talk Page and consensus"? Nikkimaria (talk) 20:21, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In general I think we need to separate out MOS issues (desirable changes) from information deletion issues (questionable changes). Need to go over the latter in detail. Almanacer (talk) 20:37, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Almanacer, can you elaborate on which changes specifically you feel are questionable and need to be gone over in more detail? Nikkimaria (talk) 20:39, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
will do Almanacer (talk) 21:07, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nikkimaria I think the best way forward is that I add back in what I think is significant content thus preserving the welcome improvements you have made as per WP:MOS. Almanacer (talk) 17:53, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sigma Freud is probably going to be a vandal target. This article has been protected 36 times. That’s enough! 2603:8080:D03:89D4:5CCA:CBAE:CBB8:FD7C (talk) 16:22, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can we add to this sentence?

[edit]

Can we mention matthew Goode as c s Lewis in the sentence referring to the film freud’s last session, in popular culture? “ The play was made into the 2023 film Freud's Last Session, directed by Matthew Brown and with Anthony Hopkins as Freud“69.202.177.60 (talk) 23:14, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
