Criticism of Freud’s Theory

Freud ki theory ne psychology mein revolution laaye, lekin kuch important scholars ne unke kuch concepts ko lekar strong objections bhi uthaye.

1. Freud ke Apne Saathi Unse Alag Kyun Hue?

Adler aur Jung ne Freud ka Saath Kyu Chhoda?

Freud ke do close saathi – Alfred Adler aur Carl Jung – unse alag ho gaye. 

Reason? 

Freud har cheez ko sex se jod kar dekhte the, aur unka maanna tha ki insan ke har behavior ke peeche sexual motivation hoti hai. Adler aur Jung ko yeh approach bahut narrow aur unrealistic laga.

2. Oedipus Complex: Kya Yeh Har Culture Pe Laagu Hota Hai?

Adler ka Criticism

Adler ne kaha ki Freud ka “Oedipus Complex” universal theory nahi hai.

Yeh concept Greek mythology par based hai – jahan ek beta apni maa se prem karta hai aur baap se jealousy rakhta hai. 

Adler ne bola:

“Ye concept sabhi cultures mein apply nahi hota. Na Quran mein aisa kuch hai, na Indian culture mein.”

Oedipus Complex theory ko kaafi logon ne reject kar diya, kyunki har society ki apni alag mythology aur samajik sanrachna hoti hai.

3. Carl Jung ka Symbolism ke Khilaaf Sawal

Symbols Culture-Specific Hote Hain

Jung ne observe kiya ki Freud ke symbols mostly Greek mythology se liye gaye the.

Jung khud India aaye, Banaras mein time bitaya, aur dekha ki:

• Europe mein sapne mein saanp dikhe, toh matlab sex se hota hai.
• India mein, saanp ko divine maana jata hai – jaise Shivji ke gale ka Naag. Sapne mein saanp ka matlab spiritual growth bhi ho sakta hai.

Jung ka Suggestion

“Dream interpretation tabhi sahi hogi jab symbols ko har culture ke hisaab se samjha jaye.”

4. Freud ka Religion ko Lekar Nazariya

Freud ne religion ko “illusion” kaha.

Unka maanna tha ki:

• Jab insaan ko dar lagta hai, toh woh ek imaginary God banata hai jo uski raksha kare.
• Agar insaan ka dar hi khatam ho jaye, toh religion ki zarurat nahi rahegi.

Baad ke Thinkers ka Reaction

Bahut se thinkers ne iss baat ko disagree kiya. Unhone kaha ki religion sirf illusion nahi hota – emotion, culture, aur moral values ka deep connection hota hai religion se.

5. Freud ke Concepts ko Dobara Socha Gaya

Oedipus Complex aur Symbols ko Modify Karna

Freud ke baad aane waale psychologists ne unke do major concepts – Oedipus Complex aur Symbolism – ko culture-specific banaya.

• Har culture ke symbols alag hote hain.
• Har sapna universal meaning nahi rakhta.

India ke saints aur scholars apne culture ke dreams aur signs ko better samajh sakte hain.

6. Freud ka Education aur Parenting mein Yogdaan

Freud ne sirf sex aur subconscious ki baat nahi ki, balki ek philosophy of life bhi di.

Unhone parents aur teachers ko warning di:

“Agar aapne 10–12 saal ke andar bachche ki personality sahi guide nahi ki, toh bachcha emotionally disturb ho sakta hai.”

Practical Impact

Freud ke concepts par logon ne education mein research ki.

7. Freud ka Final Contribution: Eros aur Emotional Disorders

Pehle Freud sex ko sab kuch maante the, lekin later unhone do naye terms diye:

• Eros (Life energy)
• Emotional Disturbance (Jab insan ya toh over-emotional ho jaye ya bilkul dry)

Unhone kaha, agar emotional balance bigad gaya toh abnormal behaviour develop ho sakta hai.

---

At the end, I would like to say that, Freud ne psychoanalysis ko sirf ek therapy nahi banaya, balki ek zindagi jeene ki philosophy bana diya.

Medical science aur education – dono mein unka yogdaan itna gehra hai ki unki theories aaj bhi relevant hain.

Unhone humein yeh samjhaya ki har insaan ke behavior ke peeche ek emotional aur unconscious kahani hoti hai.

Isiliye, unke critics ke bawajood, Freud ko respect ke saath yaad kiya jata hai.
