Why Freud Was Wrong: Sin, Science, and Psychoanalysis

Why Freud Was Wrong: Sin, Science, and Psychoanalysis Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this engrossing new study of Sigmund Freuds life and work, Richard Webster has set out to provide a clear answer to the controversies that have raged for a century around one of the most influential of all modern thinkers. Tracing Freuds essentially religious personality to his childhood, Webster shows how the founder of psychoanalysis allowed his messianic dreams to shape the science he created and to lead him ever deeper into a labyrinth of medical error. Meticulously researched and powerfully argued, Why Freud Was Wrong is destined to become a classic work.
