Our Last Great Illusion: A Radical

This books aims to refute, primarily through the prism of modern psychoanalysis and post modern theory, the notion of a return to nature, to holism, or to a Cartesian ideal of harmony and integration. Far from helping people, therapy culture's utopian solutions may be a cynical distraction, creating delusions of hope. Yet solutions proliferate in the free market, to the precise degree that there are no solutions. This is why therapy is our last great illusion.

Rob Weatherill lectures in psychoanalysis at St. Vincent's University College Hospital, Trinity College and the Milltown Institute of Philosophy and Theology.
