Joseph Jastrow – författare

This book gives us a good general idea about the doctrines of Freud and his students and the extent of their differences. It clearly explains what is acceptable among the "Freudian" principles and what needs evidence to support it. It also exposes what is abnormal and rejected by reason and logic. Despite the passage of years since the publication of Freud''s works, Joseph Jastrow''s book It is considered one of the best books concerned with presenting "Freudian" doctrines and criticizing them in a good spirit, despite the harsh criticism that appears at times.Some readers may notice that science is slow in achieving what scholars have disagreed about in psychoanalysis, but a look at the long past and the psychological discoveries we have recorded in it convinces them that psychology has advanced in great strides since the emergence of Freud, who opened new horizons for exploring the depths of the highly complex human psyche.

The first part of this book was a prelude to criticizing a lofty system whose goal is to understand the human soul in terms of its nature and behavior. The author presented the parts of the building, its design, and the composition of the house as Freud built it. There is no doubt that Freud has won a secure position among the great thinkers about the nature of the human soul, whose ambitions or beliefs have transcended them. Do some work. Perhaps this position combines honor and pity for the blame and rebuke he received, which usually befalls heroes in any work. If the group he joins in the field of glory and fame is the group of philosophers, then he is the first to join it by opening a new era in psychology.
