There’s a reason him and Jung’s findings are ignored in favor of actual scientific discoveries.

Jung's findings have been debunked?

[–] dipshit 26 points 10 months ago (3 children)

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Carl_Jung

To be more specific, Jung's psychology has been characterized as "unscientific" on the following grounds:

  • that some Jungian concepts, such as archetypes and synchronicity, cannot be proven by the scientific method
  • that Jung subscribed to a nineteenth-century notion of evolution that has since been discredited
  • that Jung's valuation of the mental functions of feeling and intuition on the same level as thinking weakens the attitude of rational objectivity that is essential in scientific research
  • that Jung's interest in occult traditions, including the pre-scientific European past (third-century Gnosticism and medieval alchemy) and contemporary Asian cultures (Taoism and Tibetan Buddhism) amounts to a glorification of mysticism and irrationality
  • that Jung's clinical specialization in the treatment of schizophrenia and his own brush with psychosis made him an untrustworthy guide to "ordinary" reality

Thanks for the explanation.

This is only 10% of the article dipshit. Some of these points are only theorized to be the case.

Also, I find it kind of funny. Scientific method is just a model with its own flaws and is bound to faliure in certain fields as all models do.

how do you feel about who has the burden of proof? the person claiming the thing or someone saying there is no evidence to suggest that the claim is correct?

Have you seen Freud's mom? You'd start cranking out justifications too.

Freud bullying someone in school: HEY THERE FATTY FACE, YOU'RE BIG AND FAT!!

Bullied kid: ....... your mom

Freud then spends his life trying to come up with a clever come back

Unpopular opinion: I kinda like Freud. Sure, a lot of his ideas were debunked over the years, but he was one of the first people in the field to take women's mental health seariously. He also thought of homosexuality as something that isn't a choice and can't be changed, unlike a lot if his peers.

[–] Donkter 25 points 10 months ago

Freud had bad ideas, sure. But he was literally one of the first people in history to academically propose that maybe there was something going on with the way people think and the choices they made that they weren't aware of (the subconscious).

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fun Freud Fact: He didn't actually start from the ideas of Oedipal Complexes and Penis Envy.

That came about because many of his clients were the children of the wealthy, and quite a few of them were reporting sexual abuse, but he couldn't tell all the rich pricks to stop raping their children in the middle of trying to found psychology as a field of study.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This is based on a very sketchy theory itself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Sure it is, that's why no professional who has read his notes disagrees with the overall analysis that he covered up the extent of sexual abuse in his patients to save his career.

Psych studies are a cardhouse from top to bottom.

Ok Siggy, maybe take it easy on the blow?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Dude’s thinkin w his dick, okay. Freud was raised by his nanny and had very little contact with his bio-mom. Reasonable to assume it was so little that he experienced her as a stranger, & thought she was hot.

Extremely unreasonable to consider any mammal would have sexual urges that would result in immediate severe inbreeding. Some past-centuries gooner got all hot, great, but don’t make me take his porn seriously

[–] TeenieBopper 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I remember taking psych 101 or some equivalent and there was an entire 50 minute lecture about Freud. At the end I raised my hand and was like, "This... This is all considered bullshit now, right?" I can't remember what exactly the answer was, but I do remember that it wasn't an unequivocal yes. And that scared me.

[–] dipshit 2 points 10 months ago

sadly, not all practitioners practice evidence-based psychotherapy. some practice non-directive conversion about joe rogan topics.
