Forgotten Freud

Wall Street Journal comes with this article on the dream-interpretation: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303678704576439831114438292.html?mod=WSJEUROPE_hpp_editorsPicks_2

I agree that the dream-interpretation is an interesting subject. However, I am astonished that the article neglects the pioneers of this field, first of which is, of course, Sigmund Freud. Indeed, the article goes only as far as to say "With imagery and symbolism, dreams can reveal important insights that we might not consciously notice otherwise, experts say. Dreams are "a different mode of thought," says Deirdre Barrett, a psychologist, professor at Harvard Medical School and author of the book "The Committee of Sleep." "
But the article really does not go further than discussing what is contained in his "The Interpretation of Dreams" or "The Introductory Lectures to Psychoanalysis" (Which are a very easy and interesting to read books as well.)

It is sad that more than a hundred years after Freud's discoveries, and after the sexual revolution, the mankind still denies this scientist the credit for opening a new field and getting many things correct.
