>freudian psychoanalysis defines social sins that need to be corrected by supposedly scientific beliefs A Freudian analyst would never proscribed certain behaviors for their patients, but would perhaps advise them to find ways to keep themselves out of trouble. If we lived in a society where it was acceptable to challenge your enemies in single combat to the death (like virtually all societies in the west before the 20th century) then an analyst would probably tell their patient that they should just be careful and make sure that it was a decision the patient made with a full, conscious understanding of the repercussions. Every society has acceptable and unacceptable forms of violence, which becomes all the more clear during times of war, when virtually all violent means become socially acceptable against the enemy. Also, >Where as psychiatry deals with the chemistry and biology of the brain with respect to undesirable behavior. still, the politics of the day decides what is a sickness but with psychiatry you have to prove some chemistry or makeup of the brain is responsible while with freud's psychoanalysis it is a belief which is conscious or subconscious that needs to be washed out if your brain. there is no "conscious or subconscious" beliefs for Freud, there is only the conscious and the unconscious, which are precisely that which we are actively aware of, and that which we are not aware, in the cognitive processes of the mind. What someone says the believe is a lot less important than what they say about their belief, and what sort of structural orderings they are applying (in language) that reveal how they understand the world around them. And, >with psychiatry you have to prove some chemistry or makeup of the brain I think you are giving Psychiatry far too much credit. You should know Freud was the first person to attempt to create a physical model of the psyche, and he utterly failed, which is why he developed psychoanalysis (cf. Project for a Scientific Psychology). And to this day not only is he credited as being the father of modern psychiatry for that reason, virtually no progress has been made since his work.
