People always try to remember what was happened to them when they were young. However, no one will tell you that they can remember how their parents teach them to walk. Freud defend that "theoretical controversy is unfruitful . For this reason it seems to me to be incomparably more useful to combat dissentient interpretations by testing them upon particular cases and problems" (Freud, 205). According to our latest biological and psychological experiment, it mentions that "Your earliest memories-probably of something that happened when you were about 3 or 4-almost surely involve visual imagery, or mental pictures" (Myers, 237). We are not comparing to particular cases and problems, but we proved that by fact.
It is more controversal that whether unconscious theory is valid or not. In his Three Case Histories, he has mentioned a thousand times that the primal scenes have gone into Wolf-Man unconscious mind. However, now "behaviorists, humanists, and existentialists all believe that the motivations and problems that can be attributed to the unconscious are much fewer than Freud thought, and the unconscious is not the great churning cauldron of activity he made it out to be. Most psychologists today see the unconscious as whatever we don't need or don't want to see. Some theorists don't use the concept at all" (Personality, http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/freud.html). Moreover, his coworker, Carl Jung, proposed an unconscious that makes Freud's look puny! In addition, Freud likes to emphasize his theory in sexual events. In Pankejeff's case, Freud says that "His anxiety was a repudiation of the wish for sexual satisfaction from his father-the trend which had put the dream into his head" (Freud, 203). By our common sense, it is impossible for a child to think of sexual satisfaction before adolescence. On the other hand, Freud mentions "What was essentially new for him in his observation of his parents" intercourse was the conviction of the reality of castration"(Freud, 202).
