You are not stupid becuase you read something you don't like. Psychiatry is not a precise science and many psychitriusts do talk garbage (sometimes harmful garbage). Never-the-less when someone like Freud writes down in careful detail what his patients told him, and then he offers possible explinatuions then you might find something useful.
