Two excerpts spliced together from Adam Curtis's excellent Century Of The Self, a documentary about the use and abuse of psychoanalysis and psychology by state and business (Freud's American nephew, Edward Bernays helped introduce the world to the art of 'Public Relations' for some fairly sinister ends). The first excerpt is of psychoanalyst Anna Freud (Sigmund Freud's daughter) and the second of Bill Schlackman, a psychologist speaking about his time working for Ernest Dichter, pioneering marketing researcher in 1950's America.
