Thoughts on Freud …

… Freud uncovered – Mark Vernon.

The world of the human psyche is still underexplored, by modern minds at least. It’s a little known fact that biological causes for mental health conditions have only been identified in about half a dozen cases, ones in which the brain is clearly deteriorating, like dementia. Psychotherapy is at the vanguard of this often troubling adventure. As Freeman Dyson has argued, it has a place alongside neuroscience and psychiatry because there are clearly aspects of the mental universe that are “too fluid and evanescent to fit within the rigid protocols of controlled scientific testing.”
