The Psychoanalyst's Aversion to Proof (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949093025)

'Don't judge a book by its cover.' This one does not engage in Freud-bashing and it is not another Freud psychobiography. Read this book carefully and with an open mind It is an important, serious and timely treatment of the major problem confronting psychoanalysis today. By extension, it could help determine the future direction of American psychiatry and mental science. The book is compellingly readable and direct but simultaneously scholarly and edifying -- impeccably well researched in relation to the historical facts it reviews and the philosophical arguments it marshals - and it culminates in impressively realistic conclusions and practical recommendations.
