12 Masks of Freud: The Pseudosciences That Stole Freud's Couch (The Underground of Psychoanalysis, Band 1) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

One day, I saw a book cover place Freud's face next to a coffin to sell pseudoscience. I laughed. But the laughter didn't last — because I'd already lost count of how many times I'd seen the same trick, just wearing a different disguise.
In 12 Masks of Freud, psychoanalyst William Marcos investigates twelve practices — from astrology to alien-abduction hypnosis, family constellations, spiritism, and past-life regression — that borrow Freud and Jung's vocabulary to appear more legitimate to the general public.
For each one, you'll find:

• its real historical origin, with names, dates, and international representatives;
• what the practice claims to share with psychoanalysis;
• the original psychoanalytic theory it invokes, cited with the exact source;
• the precise gap between what Freud and Jung actually said and what others made them say in their name.

This isn't a book against faith or the search for meaning. It's a book against disguise — against borrowing someone else's idea without ever answering to it.
If you've ever wondered what really holds up these practices behind their scientific-sounding varnish, this book was written for you.
