The point is you can reduce anything to its origin. That does not mean it's still the same thing.

Okay, but how does the modern version of cathartic theory differ from what freud postulated?

I agree you can't reduce things based on its original alone , which is why I included a scientific source as evidence......

I don't know, that's why I have a therapist, I'm not educated in psychology. But I do recognize a logical fallacy when I see one.

I doubt that, so far your argument has been based on the anecdotal fallacy mixed with a bit of the appeal to authority fallacy.

Lmao. Says the guy who tried to use a study on aggression to address sexual urges.

Reading comprehension is still hard for you? My argument was about Cathartic theory, which includes several emotions including sexual urges...... It is a theory from freud, of course it covers sexual urges.

You and the other guy just have no idea what you're talking about. How about providing any kind of source instead of talking out of your ass?
