There has always been a conflict (not always clear) among psychiatrists and psychologists. I never agreed with that. I always thought the job of one could complete the work of another.
This conflict appeared, indirectly, when Life magazine dealt with the dreams in a cover story in 1995. For J. Allan Hobson (a neurophysiologist at Harvard)
“Dreams were not the ‘royal road to the unconscious,’ as Freud had it.
(…) If Hobson is right, Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of dreams is as dated as the flat-earth theory.” (George Howe Colt. The Power of the Dreams. Life, September 1995, p. 42)
In other words, psychoanalysis would be dead.
The problem is that the claims of Hobson were released in the 1990s and psychoanalysis continues (today) with the same importance it had for society.
Everyone knows the name of Freud. The same thing does not happen when someone says the name of J. Allan Hobson ...
Basically, there is no psychoanalysis without the interpretation of dreams. However, advances in neuroscience research did not compromise Freud's theory. After all, dreams are still seen as bizarre. They are not logic. It means:
“There is something about ephemeral nature of dreams that make us insist they must have meaning – if we could just decipher.” (George Howe Colt. The Power of the Dreams. Life, September 1995, p. 38)

The mystery remains.
