"Janet Malcolm has managed somehow to peer into the reticent,
reclusive world of psychoanalysis and to report to us, with
remarkable fidelity, what she has seen. When I began reading I
thought condescendingly, 'She will get the facts right, and
everything else wrong.' She does gets the facts right, but far more
impressive, she has been able to capture and convey the claustral
atmosphere of the profession. Her book is journalism become art."
-- Joseph Adelson, The New York Times Book Review
"Miss Malcolm asks the questions that every patient has ever wanted
to ask but knew it was hopeless...More momentous still, Miss
Malcolm's questions get answers." -- Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The
New York Times
"Malcolm provides an elegant, precise summary of the history and
development of Freud's ideas...She has drawn a provocative portrait
of one physician in Freud's impossible profession." -- Jean
Strouse, Newsweek
"Her treatment of the subject is original, rich and will reward
anyone interested in the science or business of changing minds." --
E. James Lieberman, The Washington Post Book World
