Freud

There was a really interesting first-person article in the New York Times Magazine last Sunday (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/08/magazine/08Psychoanalysis-t.html?pagewanted=all) about a woman who has spent 40+ years in therapy.

I like this quote:

"Therapy, as Freud himself made clear, is never about finding a cure for what ails you. Its aim... was always more modest. Freud described it as an effort to convert 'hysterical misery' into 'common unhappiness,' which suggests a rather minimalist framework against which to judge progress."
