Sorry, folks, about coming back to this topic just when you thought youd
heard the last of it (from me at least), but this time its to correct a
momentary misapprehension of my own. On rereading my message just posted I

Allen Easterson wrote a delightfully erudite expose of some of the Freud myths. Having just finished reading Allen's post along with my Sunday morning coffee, I've abjectly decided to add myself to the league of lazy TV watchers I so spurningly derided in my

Can I put in a tiny vote for the PBS presentation of Freud? Yes, there were a lot of things missing. I would have loved, for example, to see more discussion of the uproar following Freud's presentation of Seduction Theory. It was mentioned, then not referred to again

Just saw Young Dr. Freud on PBS and it's very well done. As PBS repeats
their specials often, it may be shown frequently in the near future. My
area schedule shows that it will be shown again at these times:
Saturday, November 30, 4am, WGBH 2
Sunday, December 1, 10:30pm, WGBH 44
