naiapard's review against another edition
It does one good to see for oneself the themes that more often than not are called "Freudian" in a sort of self-explanatory parentheses that should put an end to any kind of "in contradiction" arguments.

Skaitosi sunkiai. Visų pirma, tai - paskaitos apie psichoanalizę, tad kalba nėra visai paprasta. Bet taip pat, tai sena knyga - minčių dėstymas, situacijų neaktualumas apsunkina suvokimą. O dar prisideda ir tai, kad Froidu psichoanalizė remiasi, bet pagal jį jau nebeanalizuoja - dabar randama ne tik seksualinių prasmių keistame žmonių elgesyje. Tad knyga neaktuali, nebent smalsu, nuo ko prasidėjo psichoanalizė.

Took me two months, on-and-off, to finish.
It's a great book from a historic standpoint, with it defining a lot of terms that we accept as nothing new today.
From a scientific viewpoint, the theories here are mostly prepositions, for the most part, they lack substantial evidence to back them up. His wrap-up monologue even acknowledges that, and apologizes for not being quite clear on the subject at hand, but it's still one of the most important pieces of psychoanalytic literature there is.

This master of suspicion, among others, has always baffled me. Now, after having read more than twenty-five lectures which covers perhaps the entirety of Freudian psychology I've learned in my PSY 101 class, I somehow understand him. The problem for me is, coming from a contemporary mindset, that there are a lot of hasty conclusions that Freud drew from his observations.

I am extremely reluctant to embrace the psychodynamic orientation.
In fact, I have spent the majority of my training and career as therapist vehemently resistant to all things Freudian.
That being said.
I have recently become obsessed with Freud and the psychoanalytic traditions.
Not as a basis for objective truth claims. I probably won’t ever adopt the Freudian perspective in that way.
But as an orientation to relational psychotherapy.
Yass!
In this regard, the psychodynamic model is utterly on point.
I have literally noting of particular value to contribute to the scholarship and critique of this work.
But I will say.
Going to the original text is crucial.
All of my exposure to Freud until now has been via text books and other equally dubious sources.
I think that significantly contributed to my aversion and lack of clarity regarding Freuds work and legacy.
Reading the source material has been an amazing experience.
Full of cringeworthy moments, as one should expect from 19th century texts. But also full of surprisingly fresh and utterly relevant ideas as well.
The criticism is valid. Particularly the feminist and post modern critiques. But now I understand (at least a little better) what a towering genius Freud was, and what a profound impact this work had on the modern world.
