    Fun Freud Fact: He didn’t actually start from the ideas of Oedipal Complexes and Penis Envy.

    That came about because many of his clients were the children of the wealthy, and quite a few of them were reporting sexual abuse, but he couldn’t tell all the rich pricks to stop raping their children in the middle of trying to found psychology as a field of study.
