33. You'd be surprised where psychoanalysis is going.

These days Freud is mostly seen as an historical figure who was onto something with his concentration on the effects of early experiences, but he was a white, European, well off male of his time, and while he invented the wheel, most of us drive complicated vehicles (to beat a dead metaphor). There are many other schools of thought and treatment, as I think you might know since you advocate Jung. Diversity is still a difficult issue but a great deal of work is being done in trying to address it. It’s very hard, given how we tend to be privileged, taught only what others who were/are privileged write and study, and only in the last few years are wider points of view and case studies available. There’s also much attention paid to biochemistry and working as a team to address all the issues at once.

So take heart. While there’s still acknowledgment of the old boy, Freud is not high on the analytic educational landscape these days.
