The conclusion is inescapable: Freud, the founder of psycho-analysis, has been the most dangerously overrated figure in the history of medical science. Frederick Crews, the most trenchant and authoritative of Freud critics, presents a collection of writing by 18 experts that the New York Observer calls "the Doubters Greatest Hits". This book reveals Freud to be a dogmatist of single-minded ambition who consistently failed to mark the crucial difference between his patients' fantasies and his own. Crews makes a formidable case that the Freudian revolution is now a thing of the past.
