Decline and Fall of the Freudian EmpirePenguin Books, 1991 - 224 pages Hans Eysenck draws in his unrivalled knowledge of recent psychological research- and produces unanswerable evidence that we should now dismiss psychoanalysis as a pseudo-science. He explores the heroic myths Freud created about his own originality and the uncomprehending hostility he encountered- myths repeated to this day by credulous disciples. |
