I'm flagged too. Unbelievable that criticism of Sigmund Freud is controversial on HN, a site overrun with "IFLS" types.

They're not taken verbatim by modern mental health: they're viewed as foundational for their attention to childhood experiences, trauma, that dreams are a pure manifestation of unconscious repressed thought, etc. We take a lot for granted today that before Freud was stuck in Vitalist or true religious nonsense.
