Quotation from A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud
“Psychoanalysis stands in about the same relation to psychiatry as does histology to anatomy”
A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis, Lecture XVI, trans. Authorised translation, Boni and Liveright (1920)
Freud argues that psychoanalysis complements descriptive psychiatry rather than contradicting it, and that the opposition comes from psychiatrists, not psychiatry itself.
