- What if Freud Was Right?
The article discusses the decline of Freudian psychoanalysis, its dismissal as pseudoscience by Karl Popper in 1963, and the rise of biological psychiatry in the 1970s. It questions whether a modern neuroscientist's attempt to revive Freud's theories and methods as a cure for emotional disorders is a quixotic endeavor.
