My WorksFreud on a Precipice: How Freud's Fate Pushed Psychoanalysis Over the Edge
Freud suffered from eight likely traumas. At as pivotal point in his career, he changed the path of our thinking about the primary forces of emotional life from reality and traumas to fantasies and wishes--clearly a wrong turn. His handling of his death anxieties was archetypal in that if involved the denial of death--and approach to human mortality that is built into the human mind. Denial is however a costly defense so we must find ways to find the truth about both our psychology and the nature of our emotional lives. This book carves out one such path. Managing Managed Care: Psychotherapy and Medication Management in the Modern Era

It points to commonly used harmful interventions by therapists along with warning signs for patients who are well advised to challenge these practices because they are damaging to both themselves and their therapists.
