Here's your Shmoop du jour, brought to you by every kid ever named Sigmund.

00:21

How does Freud's attitude toward dreams differ from the attitude of "the majority of medical writers"?

00:34

We've spent enough time with this passage to know that Freud is generally way more into

00:38

dreams than his colleagues. Knowing this, we're positive that (D) is

00:44

incorrect. In a lot of ways, Freud and his colleagues did not get along.

00:51

As we've said before... Freud's whole argument is that dream interpretation can

00:57

be a useful tool in psychoanalysis. Choice (C) is wrong, wrong, wrong.

01:01

(B) is wrong for the same reason as (C). It gets Freud's stance totally backwards.

01:07

Choice (A) is the only one that gets it right.

01:12

Many of Freud's colleagues dismissed dream interpretation out of hand, but Freud argued

01:17

for its—limited—validity.
