> What was the best-selling product of dr. Sigmund Freud? I will point out his name is still revered by current psychologists.
[citation needed] -- a hobby of mine is watching Psychology and Neuroscience courses on youtube. One from 12 years ago that I rewatched semi-recently, the professor explicitly called out Freud as a fraud, but needed to talk about his one theory anyway.
The only people who give a shit about Freud are laymen, honestly. It's just that we've already had 2 or 3 decades where a lot of publications disproved Freud, nobody gives a shit to do that all over again, and most things that can be said about a guy from 100 years ago, have been said.
> The brain is understood well enough to totally discredit 90% of psychology. It has just never been the intention of psychologists to be accurate.
[citation needed]
In the case of ADHD, neuroscience and neurochemistry feed into and complement Psychology. They aren't all done in a vacuum, and many colleges for... many decades now, have neuroscience courses as mandatory for psychology undergraduates.
> For example, a claim that you will find well supported, but not in psychology is that abused people ... are very likely to abuse others. It's of course a controversial claim, but it's pretty well supported. Psychologists will not accept it.
Err... what? This is taught on Therapy/Counselling 101 courses.
