Nineteenth Century. London: The Woman's Press, 1986. [Q130 .A48 1986b] {Covers
roughly the same scope of sciences and same time period as Mozans/Zahm (upon
whom she often relies) but updated. Written by a woman scientist with energy and an
eye for the more prominent women scientists of the past. Still one of the few monographs that attempts to survey’s women’s participation in the sciences.}

atically analyzes the logical inconsistencies of Freudian psychoanalysis. His chief conclusion is that both the defenders of Freud (who agree with him that his initial seduction
theory was a mistake since it was based on the sexual fantasies of his patients and not
of real historical events) and his critics like Masson (who argue that Freud’s patience
were telling him the truth and that he wrongly abandoned the seduction theory) are
wrong. Instead, Esterson argues that Freud “planted” the stories of childhood sexual
abuse in his patients’ minds since such stories conformed to his seduction theory.
When he changed his theory (to the Oedipus complex), he reinterpreted his patients’
stories and turned them into fantasies that now could be accounted for in terms of the
Oedipus complex, etc. Esterson writes, “Freud could only have convinced himself of the
clinical justification for these claims by a considerable degree of self-deception . . . [A]s
his explanations of the supposed clinical material evolved with his changing theoretical
postulates, his story could only be maintained by dishonest manoeuvres and blatantly
false statements. . . . [T]he misrepresentation of tendentious analytic inference as clinical fact became standard practice and . . . this feature of his research procedure undermines most of his theoretical claims.” (pp. x-xi).}

to purely psychological factors. Relies heavily on the complete surviving correspondence of Freud to Fliess (see below).

was published in 1954 by Anna Freud and others. The published correspondence was
heavily edited--some would say censored--including critical passages relating to the
Eckstein affair. Masson has here published the entire surviving correspondence (Freud
destroyed Fliess’s letters to him sometime around 1910 and sought to buy his correspondence to Fliess from Fliess’s widow in the mid-1930s with the expressed purpose of
destroying them.}

deliberate distortion and manipulation of clinical observations. Interesting analysis of the
institutional training of Freudian psychoanalysts as being unlike the training of any other
scientific discipline.}
