**What if there is no one way of solving a problem? But we insist on there is only one way? Like a psychological theory. Then people are forced to only resolve their problems in a limited way.**

"I agree with Freud and many others that mental disorder is a state of conflict, but I disagree that dogmatic theories will help in relieving it. For example, psychoanalysts believe that there must be an unconscious containing mental objects. Freud even stated that if you do not believe in it then there is something wrong with you! Now this dogma may be useful with respect to some problems, it is dramatic and has influenced many to seek psychoanalysis for help. But when treated as a dogma it may prevent one from finding a satisfactory resolution to psychological problems that do not need it."
