Review Anderson, Camilla M.: Beyond Freud

  • Review of the book, >Beyond Freud< […] by Camilla M. Anderson. In a simple, uncluttered style Dr. Anderson presents a string of banalities relieved periodically by bits of misinformation and a >valid theory of behavior< which is really a jumble of other psychiatric writings The book is intended to be free of cultist jargon and suitable for parents and physicians. It also purports to offer a start toward a conceptual integration of psychiatry and religion. The book is free of cultist jargon, although it is doubtful that it would be suitable for parents and physicians. In addition, it fails to integrate psychiatric and religious concepts, and it offers no new theory of behavior. Surprisingly, the quality of writing is excellent. In one chronological sense Beyond Freud does go beyond; for some of the ideas of Freud's successors are included, such as Sullivan, Fromm, Horney, etc. But in the chronological span of Freud's own writings, the book does not go much beyond early Freud.
