Freud's Foes Psychoanalysis, Science, and

Freud's Foes, the latest title in the Polemics series, addresses Freud's fiercest contemporary critics. Kurt Jacobsen defends psychoanalysis, while accepting that it has inherent flaws. He argues that although today's 'foes' pose as daring savants, they are only the latest wave of critics that psychoanalysis has encountered since its controversial birth, and he easily debunks their arguments.

Kurt Jacobsen is a research associate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago. He is also the book review editor for Logos: A Journal of Modern Society Culture.
