Christianity and Psychoanalysis | Clarissa's Blog
Traditional psychoanalysis has the idea that ego is strengthened by conformity to established social mores. Ethically this is an amoral position, which, however becomes criminally reckless when combined with the notion that women don’t need a publicly validated position in society, because they are simply creatures of emotion.
It’s a shame Freud wasn’t an ethicist or a philosopher of basic logic, or else he might have attempted to come to terms with this outlandish inconsistency.
