Of Kent at Canterbury) examines the tenets and defenses of the theory and attempts to debunk them in science and in the assumptions they have brought to wider society. Thirteen essays (12 of which were previously published in journals) touch upon: testability, how Freud brought sexuality into his view of neuroses, the story of an initial hostile reaction to Freud as myth, the unconscious as an explanation for dreams, and other topics" -- Frederick Crews, author of The Memory Wars: "Frank Cioffi stands preeminent among the philosophers and historians who in the early 1970s began teaching us to scrutinize Freud without employing the rosy lens of hero worship. Exercising logical clarity and occasionally mischievous wit, Cioffi has retained his place as the most trenchant and provocative critic of psychoanalysis. Does the Freudian tradition deserve to survive? Some readers who are inclined to answer yes may change their minds after pondering this important book." -- Allen Esterson, author of Seductive Mirage: "Cioffi brings to Freud criticism an individual voice and enviable acquaintanceship with the literature on Freud stretching back to the early years of psychoanalysis. This is a book which should be read by anyone interested in the issues which lie at the heart of the century-long debate about Freud and psychoanalysis." -- with a bonus offer-- .
