I have an active interest in human behavior, in particular brain function but therapy is something very different. I think that most therapy/therapists are bullshit. People can go to therapists for years and not get over the same minor phobias that most people just wake up one day and decide "i've had enough". People go to rehab with very little more success than the average person locking themselves in a room and trying to get over it themselves because they were determined to do so. That said, its obviously the one of the few options available for someone who watched their family get tied up and executed in front of them or that experience some major debilitating mental disorder that requires both medication and therapy to control. I am not sure that either of us are in any position to attempt to discredit an entire complex field of understanding and treatment that requires an 8 year degree
Freud was wrong about a lot of things. Freud was very right about some things that still rocked the field of psychology, namely his insight that there must be an unconscious mind and unconscious mental process that we have no conscious access to.
