When we see Dr. Sidis heralded by his publisher as the discoverer of "the fundamental cause of psychopathic maladies," we infer that Dr. Sigmund Freud has a rival. Freud in his day was hailed as a discoverer, and he too put forward one cause, albeit a different one, to which he would reduce all cases of functional mental disorder. Dr. Sidis is unkind enough to allude to psycho-analysis as "Freu...

out " involved in the unmasking of the repressed material liberates the patient so that he can adjust to present circumstances without more ado, and if he fails in this, the reason is that all the repressions have not been resolved. Hence the very prolonged analysis of Freudian practice. In this book it is held, on the contrary, that what is required is that the patient must be shown how his ch...

Sabina Spielrein’s thought and life have attracted an increasing interest in the last decades, although her theoretical contribution has remained in the background in comparison with her biography. One of the most widespread ideas is that in Die Destruktion als Ursache des Werdens she anticipated the Freudian concept of death drive.

At first they seemed more concerned to discredit Freudian techniques than to settle down to the long and difficult task of accumulating evidence to show the value of their own. Such an approach did little to enhance the reputation of behaviour therapy amongst those who were concerned with day-to-day treatment of the mentally ill. Fortunatel...

An attempt is made to identify a common origin for the emergence of the rich cognitive and subjective aspects of human mind. In an earlier paper we had suggested that the appearance of modern human cognitive capacities was rather recent –early upper paleolyticand that the novel neural mechanism that allowed them, arouse from epigenetic and anthropological influences on the connectivity in brain...

The author misstates and oversimplifies much of Freudian theories, and in stating his own ideas does so with assurance but no documentary evidence. There are a number of factual errors in the book, such as the notion that folic acid cures pernicious anemia. The grammar and style are awkward in many places, and it is written in a nonmedical style. To summarize, this short work represents the att...
