Hans Eysenck was one of the best-known research psychologists of
the twentieth century. Respected as a prolific author, he was
unafraid to address controversial topics. In Decline and Fall of
the Freudian Empire, he places himself at the center of the debate
on psychoanalytic theory, challenging the state of Freudian theory
and modern-day psychoanalytic practice and questioning the premises
on which psychoanalysis is based. In so doing, Eysenck illustrates
the shortcomings of both psychoanalysis as a method of curing
neurotic and psychotic behaviors, and of the theory of dreams and
their interpretation. He also analyzes Freud's influence on
anthropology and his alleged contributions to science.While books
about Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis abound, most have been
written by followers and acolytes and are therefore uncritical,
unaware of alternative theories, or written as weapons in a war of
propaganda. Others are long and highly technical, and therefore
valuable only to students and professionals. Decline and Fall of
the Freudian Empire, on the other hand, was written with the
non-professional in mind, and is for those who wish to know what
modern scholarship has discovered about the truth or falsity of
Freudian doctrines.Graced with an incisive new preface by Sybil
Eysenck exploring her husband's motivation for writing the book,
Decline and Fall of the Freudian Empire is an authoritative and
convincing work that exposes the underlying contradictions in
Freudian theory, as well as the limitations and errors of
psychoanalysis.
