Quote examples
Siri Hustvedt
American Novelist
Ego, id, and superego are terms familiar to all, but for many years, Freud's psychoanalytic theory has thrived in English departments around the country as a tool for interpreting literary texts but has rarely, if ever, been discussed in science departments.
Quote examples
Hans Eysenck
German Psychologist
In our tabulation of psychoanalytic results, we have classed those who stopped treatment together with those not improved. This appears to be reasonable; a patient who fails to finish his treatment, and is not improved, is surely a therapeutic failure.
Quote examples
Thomas Szasz
American Psychologist

Quote examples
Alan Dundes
American Educator
