It may be pointed out that Freud himself was a script-ridden person, a fact which he openly acknowledged.  His heroes were military ones, and he passionately admired Bonaparte.  His metaphors were often taken from the battlefield, and so was some of his vocabulary.  His slogan is given in the epigraph to his book on dreams, which in my edition reads: 'Flectere si nequeo Superos, Acheronta movebo,' roughly translated as 'If I can't bend the heavens, I'll raise Hell,' which he did.
