Social Science - 17 August 2006

Does anyone else suspect that many ideas in psychology (particularly psychoanalysis) are stolen philosophy ideas. I refer to examples;
1. Freuds 3 part self straight out of Plato's Republic and The tripartide structure of the soul.
2. Jung's Collective Unconscious stolen from Hegel's Absolute in human consciousness.
3. Cognitive Behavioural therapy straight from the pages of the stoics like Marcus Aurelius.
Apart from examples does anyone here agree?
Here's why its important practically; with a counselling degree you can get a job helping people imrove their lives even though Counselling gains many of its ideas STRAIGHT from Philosophy. With a philosophy degree if you dont lecture you might be lucky helping people choose whether or not they want fries with that.
How can such a noble and esteemed field of knowledge be relegated to such disrespect after 2500 years of service to humanity?
Your views please? Thanks.
