The Psychoanalytic Movement explains how the language of
psychoanalysis became the dominant way in which the middle classes
of the industrialized West speak about their emotions.
- Explains how the language of psychoanalysis became the dominant
way for the industrialized West to speak about emotion.
- Argues that although psychoanalysis offers an incisive picture
of human nature, it provides untestable operational definitions and
makes unsubstantiated claims concerning its therapeutic
efficacy.
- Includes new foreword by Jose Brunner that expands on the central argument of the book and argues that Gellner and Freud might be seen as kindred spirits.
