Opinion of Sigmund Freud

[traininthedistance]

An imaginative fiction writer who was pretty good at fashioning a post-religious myth system for the "modernist" age.  In that capacity, his influence endures (especially in certain humanities corners of the academy), and is only somewhat undeserved.

Obviously, his claims have less than zero empirical value, and are at best the psychological profession's equivalent of phlogiston.

The only form of science that I've never really understood from a methodological standpoint.

There are many words you could use to describe Freud's work, but "science" is not one of them.
