In the 1970s, Cioffi demonstrated that Freud falsified the account of his discovery of the Oedipus complex. As a result, the scientific legitimacy of psychoanalysis has been highly contested. This text presents nine essays that highlight the ongoing controversy and add insight into current debates.
For three decades Frank Cioffi has been at the center of the debate over Freud''s legacy and the legitimacy of psychoanalysis. Cioffi has given startling demonstrations that, in one area after another, Freud''s accounts of the development of his theories are untruthful. But Cioffi''s even more impressive achievement has been to scrupulously distinguish the many different, often equivocal, assertions made by psychoanalysis, thus laying bare the mechanism of its rhetorical conjuring tricks.
