The threat of Freudianism

"First, Krauss and Friedell, then Poppers, Jaspers, and Voegelin, and, most recently, I have argued that the psychoanalytic "movement" is a deterministic-historicistic theory of human behaviour and a collective-coercive practice of social control."

Thomas Szasz, in "Anti-Freud. Karl Kraus's Criticism of Psychoanalysis and Psychiatry" , 1976.

Freudianism is potentially an enemy of an open society. The same applies to Marxism.
