Psychoanalysis has had to defend itself from a barrage of criticism throughout its history. Nevertheless, there are many who claim to have been helped by this therapy, and who claim to have achieved genuine insight into their condition. But do the psychodynamic or exploratory psychotherapies - the so-called talking cures - really help clients get in touch with their "inner", "real" or "true" selves? Do clients makeimportant discoveries about the real causes of their behaviours, emotions, and personalities? Are their insights, and the psychodynamic interpretations.Abstract: Psychoanalysis has had to defend itself from much criticism throughout its history. In this book David Jopling argues that the changes achieved through therapy are really just functions of placebosthat rally the mind's native healing powers. It is a bold new work that delivers yet another blow to Freud and his followers.
