On dear. Psychoanalysis and therapy has helped many people. It was always around in one form or another...Freud just moved it from the Confessional booth and Pastor’s house to the medical field.
It has destroyed many people with its inherent “self actualization” selfishness. No it has not “helped” many people asking questions like “what’s in it for me?” And breaking up families and justifying cutting people off. It is a sick and wrong field.
