"A frequent criticism of Freud, both in his own time and today is that he "reduced everything to sex.""
Iain Ferguson writing in "Politics of the Mind: Marxism and Mental Distress."
Except that Freud did not do any such thing!
It is a very widely believed myth that Freud explicitly and clearly saw sex as the basis of everything. He never expressed such a belief.
Show me even the slightest evidence that Freud thought "everything was sex" and I will amend this posting.
It is my contention that Freud's theorizing was fraudulent in its entirety, and that psychoanalysis was a massive (possibly non-deliberate) fraud.
