From the master of Freud debunkers, the book that definitively puts an end to the myth of psychoanalysis and its creator.Sigmund Freud is one of the most influential figures of western society. But while he was undeniably a visionary thinker, Freud's legend was also the work of years of careful mythologizing, and a fierce refusal to accept criticism or scrutiny of his often unprincipled methods.In&,nbsp,Freud: The Making of an Illusion, Frederick Crews dismantles Freud's totemic reputation brick by brick. His ideas transformed the way that we think about our minds, our selves and even our thoughts.
He explores Freud's whole-hearted embracing of cocaine as a therapeutic tool, and the role it played in his own career. Looking at recently revealed correspondence, he examines Freud's own personality, his selfishness, competitiveness and willingness to cut corners and exploit weaknesses to get his own way. And he interrogates Freud's intellectual legacy, exposing how many of his ideas and conclusions were purely speculative, or taken wholesale from others.As acidic as it is authoritative, this critique of the man behind the legend is compulsory reading for anyone interested in Freudianism.
