Sigmund Fraud

Fr Ray Blake writes:

We were all Freudians then, chatting endlessly about the "ids" and "egos". The wealthier and more arty spent hundreds of pounds going to their weekly therapy session.We saw everything in sexual terms then, most people and most psychologists then were rabid Freudians, a few were Jungian but most were Freudians. Children were viewed as sexual creatures from birth, struggling with their complexes, hysterias and fantasies. The culture of the eighties saw children as protagonists in sexual activity, sometimes its provocateur but often just a fantasists. Popular Freudianism, the type embraced by social workers, teachers, journalists and leftist priests said children were not to be believed and then if you added the Kinsey Report...! Discuss.
