Content
editFreud's work was intended primarily as a polemic against the competing theories in psychotherapy which opposed his psychoanalysis; for example, those of Alfred Adler's individual psychology and Carl Jung's analytical psychology.
Adler and Jung had previously been followers of Freud but objected to his emphasis on sexual matters. Freud's main criticism of them was their insistence on still calling themselves psychoanalysts.
