      Most psychologists do not support Freud’s 3 part personality theory and whilst he is credited with a lot in Psychology most of his research is outdated.

      For example, he was known to advocate the use of cocaine and there was a good chance he was addicted to it himself!!!!

      I don’t personally believe in it. Freud’s research is quite outdated today, and doesn’t really follow the scientific methods that modern psychology uses. However, I think his work is really important to how psychology looks today and how different therapies work 🙂

      It’s a nice story that some people find useful – but the problem is, it doesn’t really represent what psychology actually is, but so often it’s what people think of when they think about psychology.
