Introducing The Assault On Truth

The Assault on Truth by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson argues that Sigmund Freud initially believed his patients’ accounts of childhood sexual abuse but later abandoned this “seduction theory” in favor of the idea that such memories were fantasies. Masson claims Freud did this to avoid backlash and make psychoanalysis more acceptable, effectively silencing victims. The book challenges Freud’s legacy and sparked major debate in the psychoanalytic community.
