I don't understand what you are trying to say. I merely pointed to the undisputed popularity of psychoanalysis in much of the 20th century, and Nietzsche's undisputed influence on it, especially the conception of memory. This is orthogonal to questions of whether psychoanalysis is right or wrong. The

Guardian article adds nothing to my claims about popularity and influence.

That's not what you say about memory.

The Guardian article is to tease you into getting the book.

I'm not sure what you mean. My position on N, memory and influence on P.A. has been consistent and clear, as far as I can see.

I'm not terribly interested in reading about P.A.: it's dead branch of psychology, and has been dead for a long time. There are plenty of books / articles describing the shortcomings of P.A. some of which I've read.
