This association is made up many of Freudians. They believe that anything which keeps you from carrying out your instinctive impulses will cause neuroses: it is a parody of what Frued taught.
Actually, very often it is following your instincts without restraint which causes the problems.
I am a great skeptic about psychoanalysis. I am all for helping people, but not with witchcraft.
Mild disagreement here. Thirty years ago, the Freudian model was alive and well across the country; now, however, analysis is a small sidebar to psychiatric practice. True, you can still find a few of these practices on the upper west side in Manhattan, a few places in Chicago and, of course, in the navel-gazing capital of the world, LA. But at present, the great majority of community psychiatrists are really psychopharmacologists.
