Psychoanalyses

From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959

Therapeutic treatment for upset mental conditions. But the word was misused by Speer and Rothman for expositions of their own psychologies, of the sort later called autoanalyses. Indeed, it has a vague applicability here; "talking it out" actually does have value in reducing tension and getting perspective on oneself, as confessors and suchlike amateur healers have long known. The Futurians say that various of their number have visited professional psychiatrists at times and caused the psychiatrists to seek long vacations.

Psychoanalysis is really a therapeutic treatment for upset mental conditions. The word was misused by Speer and Rothman for the expositions of their psychologies, later called autoanalyses. However, it was found that talking it out actually did have some value in reducing tension and getting perspective on oneself. The Futurians say that various of their number have visited professional psychiatrists at times and caused the psychiatrists to seek long vacations.
