New Information
• “Diagnosed with cancer of the mouth…16 years
after the diagnosis ----Dr. Max Schurr [at Freud’s
request] gave him 21 milligrams of morphine. The
father of psychoanalysis, the man who popularized
such terms as id and edipal complex, died within
hours.”
Okeefe, Mark “Freud’s death poses delima about euthenisa”, San
Francisco Examiner 3/19/2000 page A-8
• This has been used as an argument in the debate
on euthanisia. How would Freud explain suicide?
10
Critiques
• “Let the credulous and the vulgar continue to believe that all mental woes
can be cured by a daily application of old Greek myths to their private
parts.” Vladimir Nabokov
• “..in Freud’s view the little girl had to come to terms with her self
perception as a failed boy.” Fredrick Crews
• “All women in Freud’s view see themselves as ‘castrated’ males who
have to make up for the castration by being permanently wily,
manipulative and amoral—in other words unfit for the serious tasks of
building a civilization” Fredrick Crews
• “The recent recovered memory fad could never have gotten off the
ground …without widespread public belief in the Freudian idea that
horrible events can be pushed down into the unconscious and then
accurately de-repressed in psychotherapy” Ethan Waters
