The Freud Files

Meer over het boek

The book explores the early controversies of psychoanalysis, revealing that the Freudians reshaped historical narratives to establish their dominance rather than proving their theories superior. It argues that this historical rescripting is central to psychoanalytic theory and highlights the inherent vulnerabilities of psychoanalysis linked to its past. Through this examination, the text delves into the cultural significance and challenges faced by psychoanalysis in achieving its prominent status.
