About the Book

Psychoanalysis: science or belief system? Malcolm Macmillan's analysis of Freud's personality theory describes the logical and other assumptions on which Freud's work was based and shows how these assumptions interacted with his clinical observations to produce all-embracing but faulty methods for gathering and evaluating evidence. Macmillan provides an account of the historical evolution of Freud's thought and its background in Freud's contacts with the books and people that influenced him and evaluates the entirety of the Freudian system. Included is a compilation of major criticisms of the methodology and assumptions of Freudian theory and a comprehensive afterword by the author surveying the relevant literature published between 1989 and 1996.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Beginning assumptions: Anna O. and the origins of Freud's personality theory; Charcot, hypnosis and determinism; Freud, determinism and hysteria; Freud's adaptation of Breuer's treatment method; causes and the actual neuroses. Part 2 First theories and applications: mechanisms of symptom formation; a theory of the neuroses; expectations, actual neuroses and childhood seduction; dreams and symptoms; a theory of sexuality. Part 3 The final synthesis: the ego and the ego-instinctual drive; the instinct theory finalized; the structures of the mind. Part 4 Evaluation: psychoanalysis as theory and therapy; psychoanalysis as a method; psychoanalysis as science.

About the Author :
Malcolm Macmillan is Adjunct Professor in the School of Psychology at Deakin University, Australia.

Review :
"Although there may be a veritable torrent of books on Freud, there are few that can compare with this one in its historical breadth and detail and the comprehensiveness of its critique of Freudian theory... an important achievement... indispensable for any serious student of psychoanalytic theory." Morris N. Eagle, Contemporary Psychology
