Zo, tell me about your mozzer. When psychology comes up in media, it will almost always use the Freudian model – even though it's archaic and many modern psychologists don't subscribe to it. Even when other schools of psychology are featured, the imagery is almost always reminiscent of psychoanalysis, usually with a couch or chaise longue to complete the scene. Freud's model (drastically oversimplified, of course) is that many psychological problems can be traced to interaction with one's parental figures or some interaction of the Id, Superego, & Ego, commonly known as the "Freudian Trio". The best way to cure someone was the "talking cure", where the patient is made to talk about his problem until it's out in the open and he can face it directly. It is somewhat less well known for its emphasis on the psychosexual stages of child development (including oral, anal, and phallic) and the persistent belief that people can only be considered to have gone through normal childhood development if, at the ages of 3-6 they were envious of their same sex parent and intensely desirous of a sexual relationship with their opposite sex parent, and that they healthily exited this stage by learning to correctly identify with the same-sex parent. Hey, look at that, it's all that nonsense about strong mothers and weak fathers turning people gay somehow. This is why we have the joking page quote up there. It wasn't only about your mother, though... it was just mostly about your mother. Freudian psychology was the predominant model until the last quarter of the 20th century, particularly the 1990s (known among psychologists as the "Decade of the Brain"), when research started making many discoveries about the chemical imbalances that can be intertwined with various mental illness, leading to medication becoming a major form of treatment (either by itself or in conjunction with some type of therapy). Plus there's the simple fact that many psychological issues can have multiple different reasons for developing outside whatever family issues someone may have. If someone has post-traumatic stress disorder because they saw a fellow soldier die in front of them, talking about that one time their mother yelled at them as a kid isn't going to help with that. And that's without getting into the different types of therapy outside just talk therapy that can serve as a pathway to healing, much less all the different schools of thought behind them: your aforementioned soldier may find themselves in an art therapist's studio painting or making masks instead of sitting on a couch just talking, for example. The prevalence of this trope comes from Freudian psychology just being more interesting for character stories. After all, it's not particularly interesting to diagnose a character with a mental illness and treat them with appropriate drugs — but you can get a lot more mileage if you spin that illness into a Freudian Excuse like having Abusive Parents or an Oedipus Complex. Furthermore, Freudian psychoanalysis and similar humanistic therapies lend themselves well to Character Development; they take time, but they also lead to contemplation, epiphany, and triumphant catharsis. And just because Freudian psychology is outdated doesn't mean it's entirely useless, and such therapy might still be actually useful for some individuals. The ubiquity of this trope leads to many other psychology tropes deriving from TV-Freudianism, like the Freudian Excuse, the Freudian Couch (where the patient lies down and explains everything), and Psychological Projection. Freud Was Right is the extreme, where Freudianism is Flanderized into the idea that the subconscious id is our inner pervert, supplying an endless stream of crude sexual thoughts. And watch out for the Freudian Sex-- SLIP! We meant Slip! A subtrope of Hollywood Psych, Psychosexual Horror, and Small Reference Pools. See also Carl Jung, Freud's contemporary and one-time apprentice, who provides the most popular alternative viewpoint until, again, the late 20th century. |

In Cell, the main characters theorize that the zombies running around killing people all had their ego and superego wiped out by a pulse of electromagnetism coming from their cell phones, leaving only the id, which was Freud's fancy way of saying "the part of your brain that just wants to kill and screw". | |

Dr. Huang on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is probably a more well-rounded television psychologist than most but he still will lean Freudian if it makes for good storytelling. Recognizing the trope, many episodes have someone else on the cast bring up the Freudian bit so Huang can correct them about advances in psychological theory. Basically if Freud is proffered by Huang it's treated as valid, if he's brought up by someone else it's outdated nonsense. | |

In The Cobweb, Stewart practices the old-school "talking cure". One possible justification is that the clinic is more of a mental health retreat and presumably wouldn't accept patients who actually need to be treated medically. | |

Subverted in Hellraiser: Inferno: As Detective Joseph Thorne gets more obsessed with the case, his captain orders him to see the precinct's psychiatrist. Joseph notes to his partner that he'll be off to talk about his childhood, but the psychiatrist's sessions are in fact very informal and he spends more time informing Joseph about the Cenobites. | |

Bones: Dr. Lance Sweets is the FBI psychologist assigned to evaluate Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth's working relationship. In addition to fulfilling every other annoying Hollywood Psych stereotype, he also relies heavily on Freudian language in his practice, referring to Oedipal attachments and various other discredited theories. It's no wonder Brennan constantly reminds us that she hates psychology, if this is the only type of psychology that she sees. On the other hand, in the same series, Dr. Gordon Wyatt, a psychiatrist, considers psychology to be a superstitious practice and uses an eclectic approach that does not even consider medication necessarily applicable to all situations (which it isn't). He also lampshades this trope when talking about retiring to become a chef: |

In Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars, Leonard is sent to a psychologist who insists that all of his problems in school stem from a deep-seated, secret hatred of his parents, and refuses to listen to Leonard unless he confesses all of his "problems". He also asks Leonard about repressed memories from when he was an infant. Of course, Leonard sees this as nonsense, but makes a bunch of stuff up to satisfy him. | |

"Joey: A 'Mechanical Boy'" unsurprisingly uses this, since Bruno Bettelheim was a Freudian psychologist in real life. The story revolves around a boy who gets autism from his refrigerator mother and uses elaborate symbolism to express all his emotions. At one point in the story, Bettelheim is surprised by Joey's short-lived obsession with feces, since his "personality damage" predates the anal stage. | |

The Big Bang Theory: Leslie Winkle suggests Penny is escaping into the MMORPG Age of Conan as a result of sexual frustration. When Leonard disagrees, saying it is only to raise her self esteem and has nothing to do with sex, Leslie replies, "Everything has to do with sex." Leonard's mother, who is supposedly a world-renowned psychologist but extrapolates from Howard's dependency on his mother and Raj's inability to talk to women that they're subconsciously homosexual. This is despite acknowledging that many of his theories are outdated. Or perhaps that incident subtly hints that Beverly is either A: not as bright as she thinks she is, or B: a ruthless manipulative bitch. |

In Homestuck, Rose is interested in psychology and brings up Freud now and then, though she admits early on that Freud is totally discredited, and it mostly only comes up because Dave has a very intriguing tendency to say extremely Freudian things without realizing it. The fact that he and Rose turn out to be siblings (thus making suspect all the jokes Dave used to make about Rose's mom to freak her out) and that later they actually meet a young, attractive alternate version of their mother probably doesn't help. | |

American Dad!: During the episode "A Pinata Named Desire" Roger and Stan have been relentlessly competing, Hayley tells them to just f*** and get it over with because of their repressed sexual urges (which just screams Freudian). Steve asks her how her Psychology 101 class is going and she replies that it's only day three and she already understands how the whole world works. Hayley is amusingly proven somewhat right when the pair end up simulating sex on stage during a play and afterwards are instantly friendly toward each other. |

In Chaim Potok's The Chosen, Danny's entire pre-university education in psychology involved reading Freud (in the original German). He assumes that Freud is the be-all-and-end all of psychology, but when he enters university (in the 1960s–1970s), he realizes that Freudianism has been completely jettisoned by academia and replaced with hard behaviorism. The culture shock, needless to say, is considerable. | |

In Joanne Greenberg's autobiographical novel I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, Deborah Blau is diagnosed as schizophrenicnote This was in the late 1940s, when "schizophrenia" had a broader meaning; in 1981, a couple of doctors published a report in Archives of General Psychiatry characterizing her symptoms as more indicative of severe depression and somatization. In the Daniel Mackler documentary Take These Broken Wings, which you can find on YouTube, Greenberg confirms that she was schizophrenic and that at times she feels she might return to the state in which she was "elsewhere"; that's why she stays active and engaged in everyday life. and hospitalized in a private facility. But she's lucky enough to have a Freudian analystnote closely based on Greenber's real doctor, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, who is willing to listen to her and convince her to trust the reality around her. | |

Gilligan's Island: In some episodes, when Ginger assumes the role of psychiatrist, her first instinct is to ask the patient about things like their childhood. Of course, she's a case of I'm Not a Doctor, but I Play One on TV, so Hollywood Psych is probably all the psychology she knows. | |

In Apartment Zero, one of the neighbors tells Jack that he reminds him of a boy he was close to when he was in school. The neighbor speculates what Freud would have to say about that, and then it is implied that he and Jack get up to some very Freudian activities. | |

Haruhi Suzumiya: Played with when Kyon wakes up from a dream that ends with a kiss and cries, "What the hell?! Freud would have a field day with this!" Koizumi is fond of explaining Haruhi's and everyone else's behavior through Freudian psychology. However, he mostly stays clear of Freudian Excuses and seems to use Freud's actual theories, not The Theme Park Version. |

A Pinky and the Brain Christmas: Pinky notes that the elf costume Brain's wearing makes him look like Sigmund Freud. Brain's reply is that he's Jungian. They meet the actual Freud, who is portrayed as a leader in hypnosis therapy. It still hits on a little of what Freud would apparently develop, but at least at the time it's state of the art techniques. | |

Lucky Luke: One story has a proto-Freudian doctor visit the US to test his theory that all criminals trace their behavior back to a turning point in their childhoods. He demonstrates this by getting the criminals to talk about their childhoods, which leads them to start crying, return the loot they've stolen, and promise to live better lives from then on. Then he encounters the Daltons, who are quite proud of their criminal childhoods, and turns evil (although in the end he manages to cure Averell). Freud himself makes a cameo at the very end, as a terrified nanny tells Mrs. Freud what baby Siggy tried to get her to do. | |

The New Retcons: So far as Elly Patterson is concerned, all therapy boils down to blaming the patient's mother for everything that's gone wrong with their life. Due to this, she doesn't approve of anyone going to therapy or getting any kind of psychological support. Such as when Deanna starts taking her kids to a therapist after they're traumatized by an apartment fire. (Note that Elly tends to blame everybody else for her own issues, suggesting that Psychological Projection is in play here.) | |

The Persona series also uses Jungian psychology heavily. The name of the series and its core gameplay mechanic come from Jung. Philemon, one of the most important entity in that universe (particularly the first two games) is derived from Jungian psychology. Jungian shadows play important roles in the games, particularly in Persona 4, in which each party member (other than the protagonist) confronts theirs in the collective unconscious, another Jungian idea in order to obtain their Persona. Shadows also show up as every enemy in Persona 3 and Persona 4, save for a few bosses. Lampshaded in Persona 3, as you can find books about psychology and psychoanalysis in your dorm. The concept of Arcanas bear striking similarities to Jungian Archetypes. The final boss of Persona 2: Innocent Sin consists of Nyarlathotep deciding to have some fun by taking the form of a tentacle monster made up out of all five of the characters' fathers. (Naturally, all five have some kind of father issue. Lisa for example has a strict Japanophile father, Eikichi is subtly rebelling from his dad, Tatsuya's was fired from his job and just accepted it, Maya feels like her dad abandoned her and her mother for his job, and Jun's father was considered insane by everyone, leading to him making up a perfect dad, which Nyarlathotep became to manipulate Jun.) Persona 2 does have some Freudian elements, most notably the fire at the shrine causing Repressed Memories and the characters overcoming some of their problems while fighting their Shadows. |

Essentially all psychology was Freudian in 1946, which is why it's portrayed that way in Let There Be Light, a documentary about World War II veterans suffering from severe PTSD. Although the narration talks about physical causes for psychological disorders, the troubled soldiers are fixed mostly with the Freudian "talking cure", with some help from hypnosis and sodium amytal. | |

This was Truth in Television at the time, as part of a movement in psychiatry, and what was called "schizophrenia" back then might today be defined as "depression" or "anxiety disorder". | |

The Golden Girls features a few examples, although they're mostly zigzagged and never commit to Freud being completely correct: In one episode, Sophia, the Team Mom of the group, complains that she hates psychiatrists, as "they always blame the mother." Dorothy then points out that for women of their age, mothers were the people who children, and especially daughters, spent the most time with and learned from, given that fathers were nearly always working. As such it's to be expected that moms would have a large influence in their kids' lives. In "End of the Curse," Blanche starts going through menopause and flies into a hysterical depression. The other girls force her to see a psychologist, who largely subverts the trope by not focusing on Blanche's relationship with her mom; it's Blanche herself who brings it up as a reflection of her own fears of getting older. "Three on a Couch" features all four women going through talk-therapy with a professional psychiatrist, but he doesn't rely on any Freudian language, instead letting them discuss their problems and saying that it's their clashing personalities causing their issues, not any particular childhood grief. Rose worked as a grief counselor in the early seasons of the show and later revealed some Hidden Depths by remarking that she regularly reads psychology journals to keep up to date on the latest research. Her comments largely fall into the Freudian model ("There's a cognitive dissonance between her actual and ideal self which causes her to be practically dysfunctional"), and lead to a great Beware the Nice Ones moment when Blanche refuses to accept the idea that Rose could know anything about psychology: |

Las Vegas averts this trope handily when a psychologist is evaluating the Montecito's employees. When he gets to Genius Ditz Belinda, she asks him what method of analysis he's going to use, then name-drops several methods before revealing she used to be a psych major. | |

The fourth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer featured a psychology teacher who in one episode explicitly referenced Freud and the id. However, given that this was a first-year course, it could be she's simply going through the history of the field; since it occurs in Buffy's dream, it might also be a way of showing that Buffy's not doing too well in the class. | |

Mrs. Levy in A Confederacy of Dunces believes this, though she's pointedly quite incorrect. She took a correspondence course in psychology (which she failed) and constantly tries to apply her "knowledge" to her Henpecked Husband and Miss Trixie, a senile employee of Levy's company who just wants to retire in peace. Miss Trixie gets it especially awful; Mrs. Levy insists, against the complaints of both Mr. Levy and Miss Trixie herself, that what Trixie really wants is to remain employed so she could feel wanted. But there's a real Freudian moment when it's revealed that with the makeup and wig Mrs. Levy ends up applying to her, Miss Trixie looks almost exactly like Mrs. Levy's mother. | |

On Frasier (and Cheers before that), Frasier is a psychiatrist and is a typical Freudian like you'd expect him to be. However, his diehard Freudianism is often portrayed as a running gag, as nearly every other doctor is a behaviorist of some kind and dismisses his thinking. Frasier's brother Niles, also a psychiatrist, is a Jungian, and will occasionally comment on how Frasier's philosophy is well-suited for entertainment — such as his call-in radio show. But fans note that Niles often spouts neo-Freudian jargon rather than Jungian, and wonder if a real Jungian might accept Daphne's belief that she has Psychic Powers as part of the collective unconscious. Fraiser's ex-wife Lilith is a firm behaviorist who follows the works of Gestalt and will often mock both Frasier's and Niles' psychoanalytical beliefs. Frasier receives a bust of Freud from a student as a gift. Then she explains that she gave it to him ironically, as obviously he knew that nearly everything Freud said had since been debunked. Frasier reacts as only Frasier can. Frasier has an Awkwardly Gay Dream, and for a Freudian, the implications are obvious — so he turns to Niles for a second opinion that might be less threatening to his ego. Niles believes "all dream interpretation if Freudian" and just throws out a bunch of basic (and misapplied) Freudian precepts. Once Frasier "cracks" the dream, he has another one about Freud himself. In "Don Juan in Hell", Frasier starts hallucinating that he's being visited by his former lovers and gets cornered by the three women he married (or tried to marry, in Diane's case), only for a fourth to show up who doesn't necessarily fit the pattern: |

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye features psychologists Rung and Froid, based on Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud respectively, who bring up various tropes on psychology. But the comic otherwise averts the trope, with Rung being the competent one and Froid being portrayed as an unethical hack. Most psychological disorders (most notably Magnus's OCD) are treated rather than cured. Of course, it's hard to have lingering parental issues in a species who's reproductive method precludes them from having parents. | |

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines contains some Conversational Troping of this, when we visit the mansion of Dr. Alestair Grout, a Malkavian (read: "batshit insane") vampire, whose old audio diaries the player gets to hear, where Dr. Grout criticizes Freud and Freud's ideas. Not only was Grout a contemporary of Freud's during his living existence, but he apparently supported even older and more outdated ideas. (He at one points speaks with melancholy about the loss of the classical sanitarium.) Of course, Grout is insane and his primary motivation has always been curing his own condition. | |

Inception deals with "projections" encountered in dreams and dismisses the TV-Freudian explanation that they're a part of the dreamer's subconscious. They're instead described as unexpressed fragments of the dreamer's personality, which is ironically a very Freudian view of dream psychology. | |

In The Man in the High Castle, the exception proves the rule: Before he begins with a new patient, a Nazi psychologist explains that he does not base his work on Sigmund Freud because Freud had Jewish heritage. Instead, he goes by the works of Carl Jung, who was of "Aryan" stock as a Swiss. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Data visits a holodeck version of Freud when he starts having nightmares and tries to make sense of their meaning. Holodeck Freud immediately jumps to father issues, but Data notes that he never met his father. Nor does he have a mother. Subverted when Data informs Troi of his session with the good doctor-she's very distraught as psychological theory and research has advanced hundreds of years since his era (it would be the equivalent of asking a Holodeck version of Isaac Newton for help on a paper on the physics of starships). When he leaves, she says "Next time, please come to me before you see Sigmund." In "Frame of Mind," Troi actually quotes Jung. Her style is usually fairly Rogerian, however. |
