RY – maskim. Looking at things from a Torah perspective means that while on the one hand, you don’t automatically accept things because they come from Freud,etc, neither do you automatically disregard them just because Freud or whoever agreed with them.
If it is in fact a Torah hashkafa, which I believe it is, that means that it predated Freud and that he actually got it from the Torah (although it may have been indirectly).
Someone I know told me that he once asked Rav Matisyahu Salomon shlita about the concept that if we see that there is chachma amongst the Goyim, we should believe it (I can’t remember the exact phrase, but I think it’s from Chazal). I think his question may have been, “How can there be chachma outside of Torah?” The Mashgiach Shlita’s response was that any chachma the goyim have that is really emes they got from the Torah.
A very high percentage of psychology theorists are Jewish, so it is reasonable to assume that many of their ideas are based on Torah, although of course, many are complete kefira, so one must be very careful.
In terms of this specific idea, I think that it is completely based on Torah, and I think that one could probably find many sources to support it.
