		Jeffrey Masson's graceful, accessible prose illuminates the capacity of both wild and domestic animals to live by their emotions--to love, share joy, feel sorrow or loneliness, and show compassion.
		Jeffrey Masson, whose work on the reality of child abuse in Freud's time created an explosion in the world of psychoanalysis, has discovered the earliest document on the Kaspar Hauser story- George Friedrich Daumer's notes of Kaspar Hauser's first two years in Daumer's house, long thought to be lost.
		Masson grew up in the 1940s and 1950s with a guru in his house-the celebrated mystic Paul Brunton ("P.B." to those who knew him), who numbered Masson's parents among his handful of close disciples and singled out young Jeff as a potential heir to his spiritual kingdom.

		Jeffrey Masson: It was a lot more work to write about dogs because there's a vast literature out there, and a lot of it is excellent.
		Masson: I see all the time with cats a kind of self-sufficiency that is so pronounced and profound that it seems to me it's a different kind of emotion; it's nothing we know.

		Masson's attack on the foundations of psychoanalytic therapy is a mixture of a little good and a whole lot of bad.
		Masson brings nothing to the party except a good deal of presumptions, such as the notion that anyone who is in favor of mental health is also against the "problem" of pornography.
		Masson also does a great job in describing how corrupt and collusive mental health institutions (and academia) are, a problem hardly ever tackled specially in the public light.

		Masson (Against Therapy) faults his teachers for not hewing to the principle of full disclosure (failing to note that part of the psychoanalytic equation requires hiddenness) yet rails against their discussion of analysands.
		Masson left the "cult" of psychoanalysis without developing his own practice; the disappointment and blame that propel this volume suggest the rage of a child at a parent's fallibility.
		A former projects director of the Sigmund Freud Archives, Masson claims that he was fired for espousing and publicizing views concerning the sexual abuse of children that radically challenged psychoanalytic theories.

		And then Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson threw it all away because he dared to break the psychoanalytic community’s deepest taboo: he told the truth in public.
		As he unmasks the pretensions and abuses of this elite profession, Masson invites us to eavesdrop on the shockingly unorthodox analysis he was subjected to in the course of his analytic training.
		But the more prestige Masson attained, the more he came to doubt not only the integrity of his colleagues, but the validity of their method.

		The genius that is Freud's and his contribution to World civilization is clearly evident, but it is wrapped up and to a large degree tainted by the cult of the Oedipal complex he created at the dawn of the last century.
		Jeffrey Massons "Assault on Truth" is probably one of the most important books of the 20th century.
		Massons book is a forceful attack against the freudian movement, who even today build their whole theory about child sexuality and the oedipus complex on Freuds betrayal in 1897.

	Book & Film Review The Pig Who Sang to the Moon: The Emotional World of Farm Animals
		Masson takes us on a journey to meet and experience animals who are commonly regarded as “food,” before they are stupidly hacked and squished into blobs and icky liquids packed in cellophane and grease.
		It was lovely having Jeffrey Masson, the author of When Elephants Weep and many other bestselling books, and the award-winning filmmaker Stanley Minasian, visit our sanctuary in preparation for the book and the marvelous film about making the book, The Emotional World of Farm Animals with Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson.

		As for Massons brief review of recent evidence confirming the validity of recovered memories, it is not nearly so clearcut as he would have you believe.
		In his Postscript to the 1998 edition Masson claims that the Fliess correspondence indicates that Freud had both patients who recovered memories of abuse in therapy and those who had always remembered the abuse.
		And in regard to Masson's reassuring words about Freud's having explicitly addressed the issue of forcing the "sexual scenes" on his patients, as with the story that Freud was ostracized by his colleagues (refuted by historians of science Ellenberger and Sulloway) Masson is a credulous victim of Freud's renowned persuasive rhetoric.

		Blending history, geography, memoir and travelogue, Masson's book is a hodgepodge, but it succeeds in promoting New Zealand as an attractive place for a vacation—if not a permanent stay.
		So, naturally, even in paradise he is restless, but then any paradise devoid of the spice of intellectual quest and moral debate would be tedious.
