Title
The Memory Wars,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This volume contains two essays by Frederick Crews attacking Freudian psychoanalysis and its aftermath in the socalled 'recovered memory' movement. The first essay reviews a growing body of evidence indicating that Freud doctored his data and manipulated his colleagues in an effort to consolidate a cultlife following that would neither defy nor upstage him. The second essay challenges the scientific and therapeutic claims of the rapidly growing recoveredmemory movement, maintaining that its social effects have been devestating. Crews traces that movement to a Freudian precedent not just to Freud's abandoned 'seduction theory', but also to the most essential assumptions of psychoanalysis itself. When the essays were first published in the 'New York Review of Books', therapists, patients, scholars and philosophers responded with numerous letters. Twentyfive of these were published, with Crews's replies. Most are gathered in the book, together with a new introduction describing the genesis of his pieces, and an epilogue considers the debate and its reverberations. Frederick Crews is the author of 'Out of My System: Psychoanalysis, Ideology and Critical Method', 'Skeptical Engagements' and 'The Critics Beat It Away: American Fiction and the Academy', which won the National Book Critics Circle Award.
