Sigmund Freud was arguably one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century, yet over the last decade portions of his theories of the mind have suffered remarkably accurate attacks by feminists and even some conservative Freudians. How could this great mind have been so wrong about women? In "The Freudian Mystique", analyst Samuel Slipp offers an explanation of how such a remarkable and revolutionary thinker for his time could achieve only inadequate theories of female development. Tracing the gradual evolution of patriarchy and phallocentrism in Western society, Slipp examines the stereotyped attitudes toward women that were taken for granted in Freud's culture and strongly influenced his thinking on feminine psychology. The book not only looks backward but also looks forward to formulating a modern biopsychosocial framework for female gender development.
