Sigmund Freud compares the universal obsessional neurosis of humanity to the obsessional neurosis of children.

When Amy placed her finger on the burner, the general sensory receptors (Ireland, 2012) in her skin sent the message that it was hot. The sensory neuron is responsible for carrying the information.

seek a “father figure” is yet another example of Freud’s bias. The idea that God is an illusion and that religion is a neurosis is less based on empirical evidence than it is on personal perspectives and biases.

Are the majority of human beings worldwide suffering from a mass neurosis? If Freud…
