Previous praise for The Psychoanalytic Movement:
‘A marvel… This is a brilliantly written book, every
page sparkling with intelligence, style and substance. Gellner
provides a welcome and literate overview of the latest philosophic
controversy about the logical status of psychoanalytic
propositions. Its every page instructs and enlivens and represents
a tribute to humane intelligence.’ New Statesman
‘In a stylish, witty and deceptively readable book,
Gellner exposes the secular religious nature of the psychoanalytic
enterprise. He admits that a compelling, charismatic belief must
possess more than merely the promise of succour in a plague and
links with the background convictions of the age.’
Nature
‘This is the first determined effort to account for a very odd historical and sociological phenomenon in realistic and meaningful terms…and it makes very good sense. Gellner is incisive, agreeable to read and often witty.’ Institute of Psychiatry Journal
