It wouldn't have been such a big deal, I guess, if they hadn't mentioned pop psychology. Oh, well.JAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246790134191833213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248067175990111873.post-71985332666131600772012-01-28T15:08:05.280-05:002012-01-28T15:08:05.280-05:00To be fair to both Heath & Potter and Freud wi...To be fair to both Heath & Potter and Freud with regards to the former's use of terminology associated with the latter without irony, I performed a cursory review (OK, I confess - Wikipedia) and note that, for example, modern psychological research affirms the existence of narcissitic personality traits and perhaps even disorders (e.g. the Wikipedia article on narcissism mentions a literature review on the subject published in 2007). So it is likely that other concepts, however ill-defined in psychology (such, as, say the concept of being well-adjusted), which are originally borrowed from Freud, have survived, even if much of his key work has been rejected.Composer99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03842730402697257316noreply@blogger.com
