Freudian Slips

[Ceke2002]

We've all had them, so just for amusement's sake -- what was the worst Freudian slip you ever had with a patient, or vice versa.

"Take a deep breast...errr breath."

"Take a deep breast...errr breath."

Hahahaha, oh god I bet that was a 'reel it back in fast' kind of moment.

There were these two guys having lunch one day when the first guy says to the second one, "You ever say one thing to someone when you meant to say something else?"
"How do you mean?" says the second one.
"Well last week I was at the airport in Philly and I wanted to come back here to Pittsburgh and the women at the counter had these enormous breasts so instead of asking for two tickets to Pittsburgh, I asked for two pickets to Tittsburgh."
"I know what you mean.", says the second guy. "Why just this morning I was having breakfast with my wife and I meant to ask her to pass the jelly but instead I said 'You're ruining my life you stupid bitch!'"

I gave a presentation once about psychopathy and when talking about my review of the literature I meant to say "scanning and skimming" and instead said "scamming and skinning."

More phonetic than Freudian but I had to pause over the irony...

So you were channeling Ed Gein for the presentation then?

"Take a deep breast...errr breath."

When I was an ER scribe the doc I was working with told a very attractive female to "deep throat" instead of deep breath.

She totally caught it, and her mouth just dropped open (haha) unsure what to say. He turned beet red, and I had to hide my face behind my clipboard I was laughing so hard.

I hope this isn't Freudian but when we were waiting for the initial diagnosis of a mass in my father's abdomen I said "We'll know more after the autopsy." I meant biopsy.

Probably freudian

double freudian! it's a parapraxis and an oedipal complex!

So what do you call it when a Psychiatrist accidentally refers to their patient by a pet name (and then proceeds to look like a rabbit in the headlights when they realise what they've just said).

Edited to add: And don't everyone chime in with 'countertransference' either
