Freud was a fan, and he basically invented therapy

[–] Velypso@sh.itjust.works 45 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (8 children)

Freud was wrong about most of his therapy related ideas.

Also, he was wildy depressed, solving none of his issues.

did he try enough cocaine?

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

I guess not

[–] addie@feddit.uk 14 points 5 days ago

He did shake things up with a lot of new ideas. I'd like to think that proving him wrong has gotten us to a better place; it's the fin de siecle version of being wrong on the internet, everyone writes to correct you. Kind of sucks for everyone that got the bad advice in the meantime, tho.

Idk man, if we had the drugs of the Victorian era but the worker rights of today, I think everybody would be happier 🤷‍♂️

That’s for patient use only! You’ll have to transition first if you want to use it.

What would be the better word?

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 10 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Manual stimulation was the term I believe.

And one doctor got so tired of it that he invented the vibrator.

Fun fact, vibrators were invented as a 'medical' tool to aid women.

Me at the sex shop checkout:

"I... I have a prescription."

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 14 points 5 days ago

And bicycles were discouraged, because they could promote hysteria.

[–] Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Same thing as chainsaws. Go ahead, Google why the chainsaw was invented

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 19 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Wrong in part. It was a medical tool to saw bones and shit. Not women. Sawing women is magicians work.

It's really sad but also kinda fascinating that there are definitely people who could read this and believe it's evidence of the downfall of modern society caused by equal rights, instead of realizing that this bitch was just understandably tired and making a humor joke in an attempt to lighten the burden of having to face another day trying to roll the boulder back up the bullshit mountain created by the people who want to take away her (and everyone else's) rights, dismantle society, and cause it to collapse.

I mean... You can still have that kind of fun, it's just not called a doctor anymore.

Oh who does this now? Do they do home visits?

Best I can do is some mushrooms (possibly magic) and a washing machine on spin.

You gotta be careful, because if you don't go far back enough, you'll end up lobotomized in some kind of haunted house. Go too far back and, especially as a woman, you'll be labeled "hysterical" or worse then exiled or killed. You gotta find that sweet spot when you could walk into Wild West CVS and take home a bottle Morphinecocainemeth to help wash down the Bovril.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (3 children)

They're exactly looking to be treated for hysteria.

While the word know just means frantic and sort of crazed and can be applied to anyone, it's originally about having a womb. From the greek word for a womb.

You're obviously right that them getting sent to an asylum or getting their brain poked through their eye (although lobotomy wouldn't be invented for like 30-40 years from their date) would be horrible.

But she's also right that they did indeed used to "jerk off" female patients as a treatment for hysteria. Then the doctors got lazy about rubbing and fingering women until climax, so they invented the vibrator. I may be taking a few liberties with the story so Google it yourself to verify the historicity.

Is that why hysterectomy is removing the uterus is it tied to being hysterical?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'm thinking a bit of both, but "definitely" to the first.

That does sound a lot better than therapy. Why don't we do that anymore? Cocaine and jerking off are still S tier relievers.
