What effect did Einstein's theory of relativity and Freud's theory of the unconscious have on the public?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many people really had no idea what they were speaking about. When you think about it, it is hard to imagine the space actually bends and also that time is connected gravity. Of course what they thought depends on which of Einstein's theories were discussed. As for Freud, his ideas about mental development were as hard to understand as Einstein's theories of space-time. He used psychoanalysis to help people work through their problems. Not everyone agrees with his ideas plus the cost of years of psychoanalysis is a huge drawback.

How did the theories of Jung and Freud differ?

Freudian psychoanalysis assumes that the repressed material hidden in the unconscious is given by repressed sexual instincts, Analytical psychology has a more general approach. There is no preconceived assumption about the unconscious material. The unconscious, for Jungian analysts, may contain repressed sexual drives, but also aspirations, fears, etc.

What did Sigmund Freud think of religion?

Asked by Wiki User

He did not believe in 'god' per say he rather spoke about him on his death bed. Stating that to his friend in a letter. Some say this 'speech' hinted on the fact he did believe in god. I believe giving a general statement about this question is better and I would recommend further research on this topic for yourself. Once you read the letter you can decide for yourself whether or not he believed in god or not
