There is even, claims Esterson, evidence of deliberate manipulation or outright invention of alleged data. Such evidence undermines not only Freud's clinical claims but also his reputation as an inquirer of unspotted integrity. By a close dissection of Freud's writing, Esterson claims to lay bare the dearth of empirical support for psychoanalysis, the weaknesses in Freud's arguments, and the specious tissue of persuasive rhetoric which has seduced so many intelligent people into supposing that Freud is a thinker of major stature.
Although it is now widely held that the scientific basis for Sigmund Freud's theories is decidedly wobby, and his surmises often appear woefully incomplete at best, there yet remains an impression that Freud was a bold explorer of the mind's hidden depths, a penetrating if fallible discerner of unsuspected motives behind the superficially innocent forms of behavior. And if even that is now more frequently questioned, we are at least left with the consolation that Freud, however misguided, was a man of unsported integrity, who sincerely strove to uncover the truth and accurately reported what his clients told him.
