Sigmund Freud's Seduction Theory - Agree or Disagree?

Postby mollyking » Tue Aug 16, 2016 4:40 pm

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether Freud's seduction theory was right or not??
(His seduction theory was that the cause of mental illness is due to sexual abuse in early childhood)
He wrote a paper on it called "The Aetiology of Hysteria" which he then refuted and replaced with the Oedipus Complex.
I've been reading up on causes of dreams, nightmares, abuse, freud etc and what I seem to have discovered is quite alarming. A guy called Jeffrey Masson wrote a book called "The Assault on the Truth" saying Freud abandoned his theory because of a failure of courage and has ruined the lives of abused people ever since. I've also come across books by (mainly feminist) writers who seem to agree with him, and recently a book i came across on amazon called "The Secret Documents of Sigmund Freud" by a guy called Jonah Faraday who claims he has papers which show that Freud did in fact believe his theory for the rest of his life but in private.
I'm really intrigued by this subject, especially due to the number of disclosures of abuse cases on the news etc nowadays and I was wondering what people actually thought of Freud's theory. It's still a senstive subject, and it's hard to talk about, especially with the repercussions of false memories, reputations being tainted etc of innocent men. But what if they're not innocent after all??
So confused and could really use with some insight, thoughts on this subject....any thoughts or feelings on it please would be greatful. :?

This is all a fraud. Read his name as Sigmund Fraud. Seriously.

To refute him completely, consider the fact he, as any other psychologist, works with an interpretive philosophy, i.e. he fabricates and constructs persuasive false theories that explain behavior. Why is this a fraud? Because the theories cannot be tested to show that they are false. They are not science. They are a quackery.

Here is how science works. Science uses a positivist philosophy. It means you say something is true, I do not believe you, and you demonstrate to me with an experiment that it is true. Science is always demonstrable, and has always repeatable findings, and encourages that if you cannot have it demonstrated you should not believe it.

And here you see that in science, if you have a virus, you eat a toxin, and the microorganisms that were the virus are dead. The toxin killed them.

Whereas when you have a quack, charlatan, Sigmund Fraud, he will be quacking like crazy, become famous, millions of people will believe in him, and all he does he misleads all these people from finding the truth by feeding them perverted lies. And I have no doubt he knew very well because everybody who studies to be a doctor learns about positivism vs antipositivism like I did.

The bottom line is, mental illness is a fraudulent shifting of the term "behavior" into a different term, a communist / totalitarian regime term. That regime requires the "behavior" that is offending to people to be punished via brain damage. There is only a metaphorical illness, not any illness at all, as the term itself is a tautology for behavior. It is in other words the case that a quack charlatan took the word "behavior" and constructed a totalitarian term "mental health" and that exact Bolshevik / red communist constructed another totalitarian term "mental illness" for when the behavior is bad for others.

Whatever the quack Sigmund Fraud fabricated is a bunch of $#%^, a disreputable practice of providing false interpretations, like alchemy. Pretty much, all unscientific quacks who interpret things instead of demonstrating via experiments are just quacks. They are all talk, no evidence.

And hysteria is also a totalitarian communist term they invented which is an equivalent of "bad behavior", and the same for the oidipus con. Everything they invented is a synonym for "bad behavior", and the worse it implies about a person the better for the communists who want to brain damage every person with any behavior they vote offends them.

What has a quack ever scientifically proved by demonstrating it is true via an experiment? Nothing! Psychology = everything is unscientific quackery like a religion. It is a shame to even call those propositions theories. They are some outrageous quacking and not theories. In science, theories explain some phenomenon based on sound, verifiable, demonstrable findings that are provable and demonstrable.

In psychology and other quackery, theories are based on unproven frivolous data, false assumptions that are never accounted for, unproven speculations, no part of such theories is based in any scientific findings, no part is provable or demonstrable, it is entirely and fully just quacking.

And behind all the quacking is communism which is their totalitarian regime of dictating their false theories onto others, pretending they have legitimacy, and circulating them to oppress people, to confuse people, and to predate on people for pleasure, money, power all at the same time. Remember the alchemy example where a quack has a crystal ball and tells you persuasive false theories. So that is the meaning of the word theory to communists.

Whilst democratic and republican people demand science and evidence, communists fabricate and mass spread persuasive quackery (propaganda of their regime, and then they decide about everything as they have full control, everything is subjective, you are a good communist and they are nice, you do not like communists and they imprison you for political reasons in any of their systems and cause you damage). Remember that. I demand science, no more communists and their quackery.
