Is psychoanalysis useful?

I've never been subject to it, but I believe it can be very useful, not only in medical contexts, but also when analyzing friends and neighbors

Yeah I mean SOMEBODY needs to explain why I end up having sex with women who remind me of my mother 🤡

Probably when put into the right hands. An astute person can probably make almost any methodology/ideology useful. I really like the book 'The Examined Life' which is by a psychoanalyst.

Conversely, I think no amount of psychological theory will of much use to a psychologist who lacks the gift of insight.

Howard Stern says it made him a better man and #bunkerbitch would've benefited from it. I don't know much on the subject, but I personally feel some people are beyond anyone's help.
