" The Freudian model is simpler, and still valid. "

Is there any actual evidence, any reproducible tests to validate Freud's conjectures about the mind?

(For that matter, has any of Freud's work been scientifically validated?)



Freud hasn't really been taken seriously in the psychological community since the middle of the 20th century. The only place where psychoanalysis still has much credibility is among a subset of literary theorists.
