In this episode of 'Is That Science?' Susan and her guest Dr. Richard O'Flynn (her dad!) talk about the Father of psychoanalysis himself- Sigmund Freud. A pioneer in the field of psychiatry, Freud has transcended the history of medicine and permeates popular discourse. However, the popular imagination of Freud has tended to reduce his prolific career to a few fringe concepts. In this episode, they look behind the mammoth myth of Freud and talk about the development of psychoanalysis as a scientific practice and in the modern cultural imagination.

Also, advanced apologies for the audio quality on my end!
