A Freudian Slip

How psychoanalysis has shaped the way we talk about things, including sex

Freudian slips of the tongue may betray what we're really thinking but they are just the tip of a linguistic and conceptual iceberg that is psychoanalysis, invented by Sigmund Freud. Psychoanalysis and Freud's discovery of the unconscious have influenced what we talk about and how we talk about it ever since, including sex.

Recorded and edited by Graham Harper.
