I have long been an opponent of not only the teachings of Sigmund Freud but also of the whole bollocks which is psychoanalysis. My views were strengthened last night by a documentary entitled "Inside the Mind of Hitler", or something of that ilk.
The core of the piece was that the CIA, in 1943, asked a group of leading Yank pyschologists to draw up a psychological profile of Hitler with a view to predicting what he might do in the years which followed.
The boffins (don't you just love that word) concluded that Herr Hitler's challenging views on the world and what he should do with it had been formed by two major events in his childhood, a la Freudian theory. Firstly, he and his siblings had been beaten black and blue by his alcoholic and sexually abusive father and so he had developed an Oedipus Complex with an unnatural fondness for his mother. All right, I can run with that one. Feelings of being emasculated leading him to, shall we say, over-compensate in the testosterone department. The second major early trauma, according to these "experts", was a failing in one of the five key developmental stages in childhood allegedly identified by Freud. Where did it go wrong? Yes, you've guessed it, potty training!
It's so easy once it's explained to you. Why did a fuckwit, nonentity corporal with northern Europe's silliest moustache develop into a monster who would annihilate 6 million Jews, gipsies, mentally and physically disadvantaged people and non-Aryans and attempt to conquer the world, spreading as he did a completely fucked up view of Darwinism? Of course, because he hadn't been potty trained!!!!!
Psychologists? Yeah, astrologists have more street cred - and they're all wankers, we can all see that.I'm Afreud you can all go to Grantham.
