. >> where does freud stand today? >> freud is unfashionable. a lot of what he contributed was enormously useful and continues to be. >> i declared him to be the greatest original thinker of the century. >> he was an astonishingly originin thinker. >> do you have comments on the safety aspects of drug taking? >> i want to point out that the conditions that these drugs eliminate or help with are more dangerous than the drugs. anxiety is really bad for your body. sleeplessness is very bad for your mental and physical health, so these drugs, if they're helping you with these conditions, you're doing yourself a favor. ssri's are non-addictive and you can't overdais. they're fairly safe. >> you prescribe these drugs, right? >> yes. >> you see the addictions, do you not? >> it is something that we call appropriate medical attendance, with somebody taking a medication as prescribed to feel normal, that's not addiction. >> are doctors, psychiatrists overprescribing? >> no. we, in fact, are underprescribing, and there is solid data to support that. >> wh

it is not to table web of sexual urges that sigmund freud imagined. it is a different way of understanding the world and often yielding superior results. one of the tips i read about is if you have a tough decision you can't make up your mind, to yourself you decide by a coin flip and flip the coin but don't go by how the coin comes up but by your emotional reaction to the coin flip. are you happy or sad it came out that way? that is your unconscious mind having made the decision and tell you what it thanks. the third area that happens unconsciously is the most important. how do we relate to people? how do we understand situations? these are the fundamental factors in whether we have a successful or unsuccessful life and a lot of that action is happening unconsciously. the second insight is emotions are the enemy of thinking. emotions are at the center of thinking. people with strokes and legions who can't process emotion are not supersmart. they are superdumb because emotions aside value to things. they tell you what you want or value or don't value.

it's not the tangled web of sexual urges that freud imagined. it is just a different way of understanding the world. and often yielding superior results. one of the tapes i read about is if you have a tough decision you can't make up your mind tell yourself you will decide by a coin flip and then flip the coin but don't go by the flip, but when your emotional reaction. are you happy or sad it came up that way and that is your unconscious mind having made the decision telling you what it thinks. and then the third area that happens unconsciously is the most important how do we really two people, how do we understand situations and received the world, these are the fundamental factors and whether we are going to have a successful or unsuccessful life and a lot of that is happening on consciously. the second insight is that emotions aren't the enemy of thinking they are the center of thinking. people have strokes and lesions and can process are not super smart, they are super done because what the emotions do is assign value to things. they tell yo

a little hard for me to deal with, so i picked up a book, "is there anything good about men," that freud had written. and although it's not quite in the feminist genre, it covers gender issues. i wondered if you'd have any suggestions for recent feminism kinds of things that would be more in the mainstream. >> in the terms of masculinity? is. >> well, no. in, in the modern feminist cause, perhaps. >> oh, um, yeah, there's a lot that's been out in the last 10 or 15 years in what's called third wave feminism. um, and really one of the founding books, and this is ten or 15 years old now, but sort of one of the founding books of third wave feminism is called "manifesta." i'm recalling the title, so that might be a good place to start in terms of the way in which feminism is now interpreted by a younger generation of women. >> hi, carrie. i have a question. i know you said your book focuses more on '70s and earlier readership of playboy. i was wondering, have you looked into if anything has changed with "the girls next door" show on tv f that brought in the readership of playboy to other, jus

you know when freud hit the scene, it has had a huge effect on literary culture. i remember looking at the new republic from 1950, an old issue that had a freudian columnist who will analyze world events from a freudian, the soviet union was in its anal stages this week, stuff like that. but now it's filling in because frankly i think a lot of what has happened is that a lot of the fields that told us who we are have receded a little theology, philosophy. they are doing important work. >> rose: why have they receded? >> i'm not sure why. i think they had less of a public impact, let's say, than maybe they did in the 1950s when you had people, realig public thoelogians now for whatever reason i think we have big pubc scientists or neuroscientists. -- wilson was on the show many times and other people li that. and their work, antonio dimazio has been on this show. their work really informs us. and so dimazio, for example, told me recently that in 1995 there were no panels on emotion at the big neuro science convention. now emotion i everywhere. and so that's aeal in

nicholas, you mentioned that at the outset of the crisis in 2007 and '8 there was a lot of shodden freudin europe that, oh, this is an american crisis, and you off heard from the europeans -- you often heard from the europeans that you need to regulate more and a lot of finger pointing and finger wagging at the u.s. now that the tables have turned and the u.s. financial institutions seem stronger -- seem -- than many of the major european ones, why aren't we hearing the same thing from the u.s. side toward the europeans, that you should get your house in order? >> well, i think we're starting to, we certainly will be starting to hear that if greek situation gets worse. that would be the short answer. the other short answer is that the u.s. and with all due respect i hope you'll forgive me for this proposition, but the u.s. tends to be looking more at the u.s. whereby europe is also very inward-looking but tend to look at the u.s. too, and this is for a number of historical reasons that i'm not going to go deep into. but i don't think the u.s. has a natural tendency to look at the rest of
