Psychoanalytic method condemns its study subjects regardless of the result

Evidence

Psychoanalysis led one into condemning the object of the study whichever result appeared. `Not only aggressiveness is bad but also kindness, as a symptom of compensated aggressiveness, etc. I should advise great attention to this danger since it might affect any publication in a way which might be politically contrary to our aims.’ — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1599
