What do you think of Freudian psychology?

Do you believe that the Oedipus complex is the way to figure someone out? Do you think it’s all garbage?

Personally, I think it’s all whooey. Not all families have one mother and one father, so that automatically cancels things out. You have to think of the context that Freud was in: 19th century Austria, which was a Victorian and very western in terms of ideologies. I think that the Oedipus complex was meant for people of Austria, living in the 19th century, but Freud was too close minded to see that his rule wasn’t universal.

Your thought?
