Beskrivning

Freud's Foes, the latest title in the Polemics series, addresses Freud's fiercest contemporary critics. Kurt Jacobsen defends psychoanalysis, while accepting that it has inherent flaws. He argues that although today's 'foes' pose as daring savants, they are only the latest wave of critics that psychoanalysis has encountered since its controversial birth, and he easily debunks their arguments.

Recensioner i media

Kurt Jacobsen brings a verve and energy to Freud’s defense that is more often found in the writings of his enemies. His counterattack in the 'Freud Wars' contrasts Freud’s enlightened thinking with the ignorance and cruelty of much of the orthodox psychiatry of his time.
