He did shake things up with a lot of new ideas. I’d like to think that proving him wrong has gotten us to a better place; it’s the fin de siecle version of being wrong on the internet, everyone writes to correct you. Kind of sucks for everyone that got the bad advice in the meantime, tho.

Freud was a fan, and he basically invented therapy
Freud was wrong about most of his therapy related ideas.

Someone told me it was his mother’s fault
And that he envied his daddies schlong

Just because a lot of his work has been supplanted doesn’t mean he should be condemned
