    When I was young my dad would treat my mom real bad. Everytime our footy team would lose, he'd start drinking and I'd start thinking how am I going to keep my mom from getting abused. I'd see her all scared and my soul was dying my dad would turn to me and say don't you dare start crying.:(

    that's why i think that both sport fans as well as religious people are a threat to the healthy part of society and should be avoided at all costs.

    Similar experiences myself.

    Slightly different in that there was/is a lot more arguing when ****ed. You learn to block it out and get on with it. And the abuse was more psychological - from BOTH sides.

    A combination of two parents whose lives didn't turn out perfect and alcohol is a bad situation for a child to be in. It did make me vow to never drink around my kids when I'm older (I rarely drink anyway)....oh and to never raise a hand to any of them. Drunk men don't know their own strengths. Wanker.

    I'm a firm believer that people who dealt with stuff (maybe not child abuse, rape or anything) when younger can become stronger in adult life.

    Something I would go along with myself ,why carry it around with you if you can offload it which is why thousends of people go for therapy and counselling to deal with unpleasent aspects and memories in their lifes .

    Exactly. If someone decided to see a counselor they shouldn't be put in the bracket of a 'looney'.

    Wouldn't be for me (don't need it) but I certainly wouldn't take the pi55 about the subject. In Ireland, mental health seems to be the big fat awkward elephant sitting in the corner bobbing it's head to ****ty music because nobody wants to talk about it. So posting pictures of old psychologist office furniture is a bit... meh.

    This is AH which is why it's best starting threads as such in the forums designed for more serious topics such as PI but that not to say you ,I ,we cant put some humor into psychoanalysis which believe it or not also plays a part in therapy .

    It always has being an awkward elephant in Ireland but more and more countrys are waking up to the time bomb that is mental illness and the ' loony ' concept of seeing a counselor is very outdated although some people stuck on a groove will always see it as such .

    Edit- The OP's story of how his dad treated his mother is terrible but OP never asked for anybody to share their own expierences which leaves the topic open to various forms of opinion , both light hearted and serious .

    But your friend Freud said "The Irish are the one race which psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever". :D

    He did indeed .;)

    Sigmund Freud was born May 6, 1856, in a small town -- Freiberg -- in Moravia. His father was a wool merchant with a keen mind and a good sense of humor. .

    ^ Must have been some Irish blood in that mans veins :)

    It's your own fault for putting your mother on the footy team in the first place.

    F*cking Freud. What a tosser - bunch of unverifiable nonsense about wanting to shag your ma, and how everything looks like a penis.

    Wish he was still alive so I could kick his ass.

    My psychoanalyst told me not to.

    Also:
    You can't spell psychoanalyst without "anal".

    If the OP wants serious replys to this topic then I suggest he start thread again in Psychology or Personal issues to avoid any confusion .

    A lot of his stuff is very respected today - including the five stages of development which you cast aside in your post.

    It was early days for researching psychology. Give the guy a break. It formed the building blocks for modern psychology and is still highly relevant - if a little 'wishy washy'.

    This way please. I think you'll find it is much disputed these days, with other approaches taking precedence. Piaget would have been more accepted in terms of child development.

    That's because we're the one race in the world who can write off a perfectly logical psychoanalysis (that doesn't suit us) as "ah sure that's a load of balls anyway I was only havin' a laugh like!"

    Funny thing is, there is no evidence that Freud ever said this about the "Irish".

    I remember hearing it was Anthony Burgess* speaking about Freud that said it.

    Psychology as a whole is a bit 'wishy washy'. Not exactly a science.
