Sigmund Freud: The phrases you use without realising it

"I think that most of us have only a vague - perhaps defensively vague - sense of what Freud is really saying, not least because in the field of popular culture his work has often been mediated to us in ways that water it down, make it palatable, reduce its insight, its complexity - and, I suppose, its difficulty - and turn it into a cosy and reassuring fantasy," says Dr Nicholas Ray, who lectures in Freudian thought at Leeds University.
