Every year Helen holds the Freud Beanie Competition for her final-year psychology students as part of her Campaign to Rubbish Freud.
The competition comprises a questionnaire and a short essay.
Previous questions have included:
- How many phallic symbols can you identify on the school grounds?
- Give five good reasons why a woman might want a penis?
And the short essay question has often been an invitation to provide a Freudian critique of Eeyore’s Birthday
, the story that ends with Eeyore dipping a deflated balloon in and out of an empty honeypot.
The winner gets a lovely Freud Beanie (from the Freud Museum) that plays Memories
.
