Sigmund Freud continues to loom over the landscape of our modern culture. “My bottom line is that any trip to a movie theater, any conversation with someone at work, seems to make clear that the influence, the impact, of Freud is still alive and well in the year 2000. In spite of the fact that most people have no idea that he is humming so loudly in the background of everything from their ‘pickup lines’ to their talk about the weather, the 21st century begins as one in which we know a cigar is never just a cigar, and that’s an important thing to know.” – Christian Science Monitor
