Freud was moved by the
fact that there always seems to be a close
connection between his parents' dreams
and their mental abnormalities, and he
began to collect thousands of dreams and
to compare them with the case histories
in his possession.
He did not start out with a preconceived
bias, hoping to find evidence which might
support his views. He looked at facts
a thousand times "until they began
to tell him something."
His attitude toward dream study
was, in other words, that of a statistician
who does not know, and has no meaning
of foreseeing, what conclusions will be
forced on him by the information he is
gathering, but who is fully prepared to
accept those unavoidable conclusions.
This was indeed a novel way in
psychology.
Freud is the father of modern
abnormal psychology and he established
the psychoanalytical point of view. No
one who is not well grounded in Freudian
lore can hope to achieve any work of value
in the field of psychoanalysis.
Dream Psychology is the key to
Freud's work and to all modern psychology. |
