Did you recently watch the Departed? I watched that too and wondered why Matt Damon said that. I don't know, being Irish, maybe it's that we are too complex to analyze???
What Freud saidWhat Freud was quoted as saying about the Irish was, "This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever."Because of our long history of interior and exterior struggle, as a result this has built a unique emotional fortress, with unique protectors of that fortress. This came about from conditioning over the ages which gradually stains genes and passes on to the next. I would not say that this is applicable to anyone less than 95% Irish.

I'm 50% Irish, and it is absolutely true, for the above reasons-save for the genetics-talk-- i'd go with nurture over nature on this one.
There is no evidence that Freud ever said any such thing. The much repeated "quotation" comes from Thomas Cahill "How the Irish Saved Civilization" (1995), but he provides no reference for it.
Freud did not discuss the Irish as a group in his works. He focused mainly on universal psychological concepts and theories rather than specific cultural or regional characteristics.
Freud's quote was "This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever." concerning the Irish.
"This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever"
Perfect integration... they don't need it :)
Yes. His quote was: "This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever"
Sigmund Freud believed that a child's relationship with their mother during early development could greatly influence their psychosexual development and personality, but he did not explicitly say that the mother is to blame for psychological problems. Freud's theories focused on the complex interplay of various factors in shaping an individual's personality.
James believed that Freud was obsessed with the idea of unconscious motivation, repressed memories, and the role of sexuality in psychology. He thought that Freud's emphasis on these factors overshadowed other important aspects of human experience.
Freudian is the proper adjective for Freud.
Sigmund Freud's middle name is Schlomo.
Freud believed that conscious thoughts represent only a small portion of our mental processes. He thought that deeper, unconscious motives and desires influenced our conscious thoughts and behaviors. Freud's theory of the unconscious highlighted the importance of exploring hidden aspects of the mind to understand human behavior.
Not according to Freud.
