When the average person thinks of a psychiatrist, they think of Freud, a couch and psychoanalysis. Obviously with the advent of managed care the typical psychiatrist mostly writes scripts while talk therapy is provided by social workers, psychologists etc.
Thankfully, most people are not schizophrenic, bipolar et al., they are just perhaps neurotic members of the "worried well". What is your opinion of traditional Freudian psychoanalysis for the rest of society (assuming they can afford psychoanalysis). Is Freudian psychoanalysis beneficial or is it just a quaint idea which is no longer relevant. For instance, do you believe that is all behavior is bio chemically based and Freud's ideas while interesting are no longer valid?
By the way, I find Whopper to be a fascinating character. He is definitely ENTJ as he stated on another thread.
