Robert E. Haskell, PhD
This very readable book successfully combines a didactic exposition with a critical articulation of some of the essential philosophical and scientific issues besetting Freud's psychoanalytic theory, as well as some of its post-Freudian modifications. The educated non-specialist reader will find it at once didactically instructive and critically illuminating. Adolf Grunbaum
The study of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy is now a burgeoning academic and clinical endeavour. This book certainly fills a gap in the literature, providing one of the best single-volume critical introductions to numerous competing ideas and theories. These are expertly summarised and intelligently discussed in a way that students (and the qualified) will find very helpful. The author is well-versed in the history of ideas and the philosophy of science, and this adds extra authority to the commentary. A timely and valuable book. Andrew Samuels
