Nice. I remember that William James recognised the unconscious in his book Varieties of religious experience, where he showed that some mind procedures can affect the religious conversion and change the whole personality of a man. Cognitive and behavioural psychotherapy is empirically supported. More than any other.
Hi grandpa. I wrote a white paper for work in reference to your evidence based intelligence study, for Protection Warfighting military professionals. I hope it makes a difference someday. I also broke one of Pat's perfume bottles while I was cleaning my bathroom. I cried, but it smells like her. I love you. I miss you.
I would argue that the most important thing Freud was correct about was the phenomenon of transference, and there has been a great deal of scientific study of transference, to such a degree it is nearly scientific consensus. Freud said it was the most important thing in therapy, so the very fact that talk therapy is built upon the idea of transference has a certain merit. The adjacent ideas of the qualities of transference, or what to do in relationship to a patient is another issue. In India where people still see spiritual teachers they maintain the transference over the course of a lifetime, even after the teacher had died. In Jungian therapy the transference is extended longer than Freudian therapy. And who is to say a person can not find a transference relationship outside of therapy, a friend, a lover, a teacher, or even an admired author that provides a quality transference that has an effect. I would simply say that transference in and of itself may have enough therapeutic value that even if other theories are wrong this function “re-parents” or even fulfills the wish of a parent. Which is the basic point he makes at the end.
