More praise for Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
and "The Assault on Truth"
"One need not follow Masson's rabid acceptance of a tightly
construed Ýseduction¨ theory to regret, with him, Freud's emotional
withdrawal from social criticism. . . . Jeffrey Masson has raised
important historical questions."
-"The Washington Post Book World
"
"Newly revealed letters and long-secret documents offer further
indications of Sigmund Freud's anguish over his first major theory,
new evidence of efforts to cover up that anguish, and provide new
information about the life of the man himself."
-"The New York Times Book Review
"
"When the furor subsides, Masson's book will take its rightful
place in the annals of psychoanalytic critique; not the bomb that
destroyed the whole building, but part of the wave that is eroding
the basic foundation."
-"Ms."
"A solid expose that reads like a psychological detective thriller.
. . . This brilliant, meticulously researched book probes what many
see as the failure of psychoanalysis to confront the real
world."
