Freudian Couch/Playing With

Basic Trope: During therapy, the patient is lying on a couch like the one in Sigmund Freud's office.

Played Straight: Bob is talking about his mother while lying on a fancy couch.
Exaggerated: The therapist he's talking to bears a strong resemblance to Dr. Freud
Justified: The therapist wants his patients to be as comfortable as possible, but still wants his office to look nice.
Subverted: Bob is lying on a couch in a furniture store, crying Manly Tears and talking about his overbearing mother.
Double Subverted: The furniture store in question doubles as a psychiatrist's office, and the sales associate is also a fully-certified psychiatrist.
Deconstructed: ???
Reconstructed: ???
Parodied: See "double subverted"
Averted:
- Bob does not lie on such a couch during therapy, but sits in a regular chair.
- Bob does not go to therapy
Enforced: All Psychology Is Freudian, combined with Did Not Do the Research
Invoked: Bob goes to the psychiatrist's office, and is told to lie on the couch.
Defied: The office in question has no couch, and the psychiatrist does not believe in Freudian psychology, preferring more modern and accepted theories instead.
Played For Laughs: Bob is whining about something trivial on the couch, such as dropping an ice cream cone.
Played For Drama: Bob is upset over something serious, like being molested by a Pedophile Priest during childhood.
