Why Freud Was Wrong - Sin, Science and Psychoanalysis by Richard Webster
A big, detailed and fascinating account that re-examines in detail the story of Freud and Psychoanalysis. Whilst admitting to Freud's undoubted genius, Webster attempts what he describes as a 'constructive' review of the case-histories, the relationships and the theories that helped shape the development of psychoanalysis. Central to this is the figure of Freud himself with his complex sexual, religious and messianic feelings. This is accessible, illuminating and fascinating stuff, well researched and persuasively argued.
