5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Work, 10 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Freud's Paranoid Quest: Psychoanalysis and Modern Suspicion (Hardcover)
Were the reviewer from St. Louis to actually meet John Farrell, he would find laughable the proposition that such an unassuming man could be engaged in a "paranoid quest for fame." I should know--I am one of Prof. Farrell's students. Yet despite his humility, Farrell has written a brilliant exploration of the darker side of Freudian thought, and the effect its widespread influence has had on contemporary society. Since all psychology ultimately stems from Freudian assumptions about the psyche, Farrell's book is one which helps to shatter the glass dome we live in, the dome built of Freudian constructs that threatens to forever eliminate meaningful human interaction by reducing all actions and all discourse to the mere product of latent desires. This is much more than just another Freud-bashing book. It is a systematic dismantling of the fantasy world--built by a certifiably insane cocaine addict named Sigmund Freud--in which many of us choose to spend our lives.

1.0 out of 5 stars Paranoid indeed, 21 Sep 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Freud's Paranoid Quest: Psychoanalysis and Modern Suspicion (Hardcover)
The previous reviewer seems to be excessively concerned about this book's immortality. I'd have much sympathy for him were it not for the fact that Farrel's work is a piece of trash, his own paranoid quest for fame amidst the ongoing wave of Freud bashing. Substitute moral cowardice/superficiality for "moral seriousness", and you will understand Farrel very well.
