About this person

In his The Assault on Truth (1984), Masson argues that Freud may have abandoned his seduction theory because he feared that granting the truth of his female patients' claims that they had been sexually abused as children would hinder the acceptance of his psychoanalytic methods. Masson is a veganism advocate and has written about animal rights.
