Mogga - 'Siggy' has been superseded on many levels, even though his insights are mesmerizing and his writing is profuse. His 'Totem and Taboo' and 'Dream' books, or whatever their name is in English influenced or rather pursued me throughout my teenage years; his ideas about 'archetypes' (or was it Jung's idea?) is a basic tenet of all our cultures. If you ever try to read his medical stuff, you'll realise he did have a scientist's approach to his subject matter, describing and analysing every symptom, or encounter with his patients in great - and sometimes boring - detail. I read just a little, found it very dry. The other criticism I have of Freud was, that he was analyzing the privileged (i.e. 'lazy') classes and many of their symptoms and diseases wouldn't exist, had they the need to/work/fight for the basic necessities of life.
I, too think, we spend too much time picking the little sores of life instead of tackling the bigger issues.
