Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory
by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson · 1984 · 308 pages

Candace Owens
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson investigates Sigmund Freud's 1896 'seduction theory,' which proposed that childhood sexual abuse was the primary cause of adult mental illness. Masson argues that Freud's eventual retraction of this theory was a deliberate suppression of reality that deeply influenced the development of psychoanalysis and its treatment of trauma.
