Freud Society

Famous quotes containing the words freud and/or society:

    The psychical, whatever its nature may be, is itself unconscious.
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    All that remains to the mother in modern consumer society is the role of scapegoat; psychoanalysis uses huge amounts of money and time to persuade analysands to foist their problems on to the absent mother, who has no opportunity to utter a word in her own defence. Hostility to the mother in our societies is an index of mental health.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
