Dr. Crain,

Have you heard of a Sigmund Freud?

- Harry D.S. Goodsir

[effinphd]

I really wish I could tell you "no".

[mygoodsir]

I have been trying to read up a bit on the science you practice and his name comes up quite often.

I take it you don't care for him?

[effinphd]

Really? Why?

His driving theory is that everything wrong with women mentally is because of penis envy.

[mygoodsir]

Because I like to learn.

Oh.
Well, I can see why one might want one I suppose? Although I'm not sure it would improve anyone's life, really.

[effinphd]

Huh.
Okay, well, you can't start with Freud or you'll end up hating the whole discipline.

Yeah, he also believed all women were inherently attracted to their father's because of penis envy.

[mygoodsir]

Should I not go chronologically?

What on earth gave him that idea?

[effinphd]

It's not forbidden, but it's better to learn about specific schools of thought. DBT, CBT, Piaget and Maslow and all that.

I have my theories. RAMPANT daddy and mommy issues. Also he was a man.

[mygoodsir]

I see. I am writing ask of this down to look up in the library.
I thought CBT was an erotic discipline?

Men do tend to fuck things up an awful lot.

[effinphd]

[somewhere, theo snorts on her tea.]

Uhhh, yeah, it's that too.
But it stands for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when I'm talking about it.

Are you even allowed to say "fuck", Harry?

[mygoodsir]

Oh, I see! And that's useful for people?

I am terribly sorry, was that too uncouth?
