Compact INTRODUCING guide on the debates surrounding psychoanalysis's most contested figure. Freud is universally recognised as a pivotal figure in modern culture. Yet the man and his work continually attract scandal, outrage and scientific suspicion. Was he a psychological genius or a peddler of humbug? Despite his atheism, did he invent a new religious cult? Is he to blame for disguising the prevalence of sexual abuse? Is there an Oedipus Complex? Was he a drug addict? A wittily illustrated glimpse behind the demonised myths to the heart of a red-hot debate.

By Gypsy Samuels This is clearly written in an enjoyable fashion that is necessary to help demystify the mythology that Freud spent his whole life creating. If you live in 1897 or 1927 you might believe that Freudville is a great place to live. If you don't think that addictive minds are self driven for their own glorification then Freudville is a the place for you and your children. Especially, the little girls who can be told that they are second rate human beings because they do not have a penis. And, of course, that this "...impressive unscientific mythology..." (Harris, p.75, Waking Up) is of true value along with Blavatsky who believed and promoted in 1875 that she was in contact with the "Great White Brotherhood." She was in psychic contact with the members of this brotherhood of course. Just as Freud was in psychic contact with the "unconscious" minds of his patients and could somehow interpreted their dreams. This was right before they gave him the money they owed him of course. Dream on and make sure you check out the Scientology website. Oh yes, and you might want to read William James' comments on the unconscious that were written 25 years before Freud's book on the unconscious. Fifteen arguments against the existence of an unconscious. Strangely enough, Freud use the flip side of these arguments in his "monumental contribution" to the world of psychology. But, yes, of course Freud "discovered" the unconscious--right?

AN ENTERTAINING INTRODUCTION TO CRITICAL VIEWS OF FREUD By Steven H Propp If you're not familiar with them, the "Introducing..." series combines serious text with abundant illustrations (like a graphic novel), photos, etc. They're almost invariably an engaging way to first delve into a particular topic, thinker, or writer. The text author, Stephen Wilson, is a consultant psychotherapist and Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. This book was published in both the UK and the US in 2002.He notes about Freud's book Beyond the Pleasure Principle, "[it] is a fascinating book, ingeneously argued, but in which Freud admits his uncertainty... [Freud wrote] 'If I am asked, "Am I myself convinced of the truth of these hypotheses?" I would answer that I am not and do not seek to persuade others to believe in them.'" (Pg. 39)He observes, "Freud pioneered a revolutionary new interpretative method of FREE ASSOCIATION... [which] means that I 'let go' of my normal self-critical reflection and follow thoughts wherever they might lead. This provides the analyst with observational data from which unconscious desires could be inferred. But if I say 'whatever comes into my mind,' can this prove that what emerges is in fact organized by some unconscious principle?... Or is it imposed by some other 'observing agency'? This is a real problem for Freudianism." (Pg. 63)He points out, "In today's post-Freudian world, it is difficult to gauge the 'moral shock' and 'extreme disgust' first produced by Freud's exposition of the Oedipus complex. Modern opponents of psychoanalysis are more likely to entrench themselves in the paradoxical claim that the Oedipal theory is both UNTESTABLE and DEMONSTRABLY UNTRUE. Let us take a closer look at the case against the Oedipus complex as presented by Frederick Crews [The Memory Wars]... Crews tells us that well-designed experimental studies have not produced a shred of evidence to substantiate it." (Pg. 140)He states that "Melanie Klein, who together with Anna Freud pioneered child-psychoanalysis, managed to cap Freud's theory of penis-envy, by postulating an earlier and more profound form of envy from which it derived---breast envy! In doing so she rescued psychoanalysis from its anti-feminist bias. [Klein wrote] 'Yes... penis-envy and the castration complex play an important part in the girl's development... But they derive from an earlier envy, shared by both sexes, of the mother's inexhaustible breast. Only later is this transferred onto the paternal organ.'" (Pg. 165)Those who wish to dig deeper into the subject can start with the "Further Reading" section Wilson includes at the book's end. But this book is a very helpful "overview" for beginners.

I got this book and the one on Jung together, it is amazing how much we have travelled in such a short period of time in psychiatric care, and how much these two have influenced even our current thought process. Its easy to see now ( at least for me)-- how Aristotles' thoughts held sway for a thousand years before anyone even questioned them.
