ah yeah, the founder of modern psychiatry.
Given he founded it no wonder they treated being gay as a mental illness and often still do for trans people.
gender dysphoria is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). it doesn't mean it's bad. its just classified that way.
but yeah this dude had quite a few screws loose himself.
Gender dysphoria is not the same as being trans. Not all trans people have gender dysphoria and plenty of cis people do. Cis men who do steroids and cis women who get boob jobs typically do so to ease some level of gender dysphoria they feel. The only reason trans people get diagnosed and cis people don't is the continuing view of transness as itself a disorder.
cries tears of William James
James was more of a psychologist and along with Wundt founded the current field of psychology.
Either way, Freud's not it
Freud did invent (or popularize) the core principle of psychotherapy: "everything is your parents' fault".
Bu that's not Emil Kraepelin in the picture, the guy in the picture is Ziggy Freud
