问题     Sigmund Freud has been out of the scientific mainstream for so long, it’s easy to forget that in the early 20th century he was regarded as a towering man of science—not, as he is remembered today, as the founder of the marginalized form of therapy known as psychoanalysis. At the start of his career, he wanted to invent a "science of the mind" , but the Victorian tools he had were too blunt for the task. So he dropped the "science" part and had his patients lie on a couch, free-associating about childhood, dreams and fantasies. This technique yielded the revolutionary notion that the human mind was a soap opera of concealed lust and aggression, of dark motives, self-deception and dreams rife with hidden meaning.

选项

答案 西格蒙德.弗洛伊德脱离主流科学的时间已经太久了,所以我们很容易忘记,在20世纪初,人们曾把他奉为科学界的翘楚——而不像如今,大家只记得他创立的渐受冷落的心理分析疗法。从业之初,弗洛伊德希望创建一种“意识的科学”,但他所掌握的维多利亚时代的科学手段太过生硬,所以无法完成这样一项任务。因此,弗洛伊德放弃了“科学”,让他的患者躺在沙发上,围绕童年、梦境和臆想展开无拘无束的交流。这种疗法引出了一种革命性的观点,即:人的意识就是一部肥皂剧,既充斥着暗藏的欲望、敌对的心理,又充斥着邪恶的动机、自我欺骗和充满隐含意义的梦。
