Everyone agrees that Sigmund Freud has had a profound impact on
Western society and intellectual life. But even today few people
know much about his life and work beyond the legends that Freud and
his adherents created, fostered, and repeated. The result is an
enormous cross-disciplinary field characterized by contradiction
and confusion. Only the experts could possibly make sense of it
all-but not always, since no field is as thoroughly undercut by
ideology, acrimony, and bad faith as psychoanalysis. Against Freud
collects the frank musings of some of the world's best critics of
Freud, providing a convincing and coherent "case against Freud"
that is as amusing as it is rigorously presented. Hailing from
diverse academic backgrounds-history, philosophy, literary
criticism, sociology, psychotherapy, and psychiatry-this diverse
group includes renowned international figures such as Edward
Shorter, Frank Sulloway, Frederick Crews, and Mikkel
Borch-Jacobsen, as well as those who knew Freud and his family.
Listen in on the critics and then decide for yourself whether or
not "Freud is dead."
