* [[UpToEleven Not even physical conditions were safe!]] In the 1930's to 50's it was believed that asthma was a psychosomatic illness and the wheezing was the suppressed cry of a child to its mother. Resulting in asthma being treated through psychotherapy rather than, you know, helping make sure the patient breathes. ScienceMarchesOn, indeed.

When psychology comes up in media, it will almost always use the Freudian model – even though it's archaic and many modern psychologists don't subscribe to it.

** Fraiser's ex-wife Lilith is a firm behaviorist and will often mock both Frasier's ''and'' Niles' psychoanalytical beliefs.

-->'''Niles:''' ''(filling in for Frasier on the radio)'' While my brother is a Freudian, I am a Jungian -- so there will be no [[FreudianExcuse blaming mother]] today!

-->'''Lilith:''' Congratulations, Frasier, you've done it again. You've led another unsuspecting innocent down one of your dark, dead-end Freudian hallways.

-->'''Frasier:''' Mother! What are ''you'' doing here?!\\

--> '''Lee:''' Oh, here we go.\\

-->'''Carmen:''' So, doctor, my problem is that I love...
-->'''Psychologist:''' No no no no. Tell me about your childhood!

--> '''TT:''' We've already established that all of your dreams are packed with enough homoerotic symbolism to lift Freudian theory from the ashes of discreditation.

--> '''Dan:''' Psychology majors, take note. This is how your mind actually works.

* In Joanne Greenberg's autobiographical novel ''I Never Promised You A Rose Garden'', Deborah Blau is diagnosed as schizophrenic[[note]]This was in the late 1940s, when "schizophrenia" had a broader meaning; in 1981, a couple of doctors [[https://www.nytimes.com/1981/02/17/science/schizophrenia-in-popular-books-a-study-finds-too-much-hope.html?sec=health published a report]] in ''Archives of General Psychiatry'' characterizing her symptoms as more indicative of severe depression and somatization. In the Daniel Mackler documentary ''Take These Broken Wings'', which you can find on Website/YouTube, Greenberg confirms that she ''was'' schizophrenic and that at times she feels she might return to the state in which she was "elsewhere"; that's why she stays active and engaged in everyday life.[[/note]] and hospitalized in a private facility. But she's lucky enough to have a Freudian analyst[[note]]closely based on Greenber's real doctor, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann[[/note]], who is willing to listen to her and convince her to trust the reality around her.

* In Creator/HarryTurtledove's ''Literature/{{Worldwar}}'' series, human psychologists are stumped when trying to analyze the [[TheReptilians Race]], whose species has a mating season, raise their children by the whole community, and don't even think about mating otherwise. They seem unable to analyze them outside the Freudian lens.

** For the same reason, the reasoning of the InternetColdReader and Armchair Psychologist is almost always Freudian.

* In Marvel's ''Hanna-Barbera TV Stars'' series, a story has Undercover Elephant (a character from their 1977 series ''WesternAnimation/CBBears'') is after a criminal called Pretty Boy Freud, a bodybuilder that doubles as a psychiatrist to lull his victims out of their synch. He fools Undercover Elephant into thinking he needs psychiatric help so he can make a getaway.

-->'''Undercover Elephant:''' ...And mom used to spank me with a tennis racket. The kids all used to call me "ol' Waffle Britches!"

* On ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' (and ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' before that), Frasier is a phsyciatrist and is a typical Freudian like you'd expect him to be. However, his diehard Freudianism is often portrayed as a running gag, as nearly every other doctor is a behaviorist of some kind and dismisses his thinking.

* ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' features psychologists Rung and Froid, based on Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud respectively, who bring up various tropes on psychology. But the comic otherwise averts the trope, with Rung being the competent one and Froid being portrayed as an unethical hack. Most psychological disorders (most notably Magnus's OCD) are treated rather than cured.

* In ''Film/TheMask'', Dr. Newman has a theory that people wear metaphorical masks to conceal who they truly are (''i.e.'', their Id). It's both a Freudian and Jungian concept; the Id is part of the FreudianTrio, but Jung greatly expanded their roles.

-->''“Zo, tell me about you fadda,” she said with a terribly faked Vienna accent.''

* ''Series/TheManInTheHighCastle'': Subverted. In the Nazi-dominated world, All Psychology is Jungian, since Sigmund Freud's writings were dismissed for his Jewish heritage, while Carl Jung was officially embraced because he was an "Aryan" (German Swiss).
