Freud was and is heralded by the US news media as the most profound thinker on human psychology in modern times.
The truth is very different - but his daughter Anna Freud may have been the world's greatest press agent.
The truth: Freud was a clueless bumbler who couldn't keep patients, cured no one, and had an obsessive relationship with a certifiable medical quack who gave him many of his idea (ex. applications of cocaine in solution were good for the nose and mental health.)
