More about the book
Focusing on the criticisms of psychoanalysis, this book defends Freud's theories against contemporary detractors. While acknowledging the inherent flaws within psychoanalysis, it contends that today's critics merely represent a familiar cycle of challenges faced since Freud's time. The author argues that these modern critiques, often presented as bold and innovative, can be effectively countered, reaffirming the relevance of psychoanalytic thought in the face of ongoing skepticism.
