Why Freud Was Wrong: Sin, Science, and Psychoanalysis Paperback - 1996

by Richard Webster


From the publisher

In this engrossing new study of Sigmund Freud's life and work, Richard Webster has set out to provide a clear answer to the controversies that have raged for a century around one of the most influential of all modern thinkers. Tracing Freud's essentially religious personality to his childhood, Webster shows how the founder of psychoanalysis allowed his messianic dreams to shape the "science" he created and to lead him ever deeper into a labyrinth of medical error. Meticulously researched and powerfully argued, Why Freud Was Wrong is destined to become a classic work.

First line

ONE OF THE MOST striking features of the mythology which has grown up around Freud during the twentieth century is that, in almost all cases, the source of the most powerful myths was none other than Freud himself.
