cody and freud

Freud was an innovative pioneer into what we know today as the psychodynamic model of psychology. It seems so cliché to us now to see a Victorian-style fainting sofa and therapist saying “how do you feel about that?” During Freud’s time that technique was successful in curing the client’s needs. Free Association is a technique used by psychoanalytical based counselors to let the client for their own opinions and connections about their random thoughts. Freud believed that this would eventually lead to repressed events in the client’s life that had caused a state of neurosis.
Freud created the base of modern psychology through his examination into the role of the unconscious in metal stability. The men who studied psych at the time felt that hysterical disorders were physical, and Freud went beyond that theory. Though he does have some outlandish ideas, a lot of what Freud said makes sense and turns out to be quite accurate.
Now what if Freud was an artist? Would he be just as revolutionary or just another painter fascinated by the female body? As an artist it is important to examine your own interests and derive your own theories about art itself. It directly relates to psychology because it is impossible for one to create without that creation telling something about the artists persona. The psychoanalytical model of psych uses dream interpretation and free association to answer questions about the psyche. They also interpret artwork by the artist, which I believe is an incredibly accurate and intelligent way to get to know somebody.
