Throughout their analysis, they consider whether Davanloo was giving Freud enough credit, potentially using him as a straw man to prop up his own theory. They also acknowledge Davanloo's clear admiration for Freud and try to contextualize some of his tone and style with his socio-cultural position. They conclude by speculating on Davanloo's mixed feelings towards Freud, and the fact that they will take one more episode to consider their textual relationship.ReferencesBrod, Thomas (2010).
