Why Freud Was Wrong: Sin, Science and Psychoanalysis (1995; second edition 1996; third edition 2005) is a book by Richard Webster, in which the author provides a critique of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis, and attempts to develop his own theory of human nature. Webster argues that Freud became a kind of Messiah and that psychoanalysis is a pseudoscience and a disguised continuation of the Judaeo-Christian tradition. Webster endorses Gilbert Ryle's arguments against mentalist philosophies in The Concept of Mind (1949), and criticizes many other authors for their treatment of Freud and psychoanalysis.

dbo:abstract
  • Le Freud inconnu (titre original en anglais : Why Freud Was Wrong: Sin, Science and Psychoanalysis, soit Pourquoi Freud a tort : Le péché, la science et la psychanalyse ; 1995 ; deuxième édition 1996 ; troisième édition 2005) est un livre de Richard Webster, dans lequel l'auteur critique Sigmund Freud et la psychanalyse, et développe sa propre théorie de la nature humaine. Webster soutient que Freud est devenu une sorte de messie et que la psychanalyse est une pseudo-science ainsi qu'une continuation déguisée de la tradition judéo-chrétienne. Webster soutient les arguments de Gilbert Ryle contre les philosophies mentalistes dans La notion d'esprit (1949), et critique beaucoup d'auteurs en raison de leur description de Freud et de la psychanalyse. Constituant l'ouvrage le plus connu de Webster, Le Freud inconnu a été qualifié de « brillant » et « définitif », mais a également été critiqué pour des raccourcis dans sa démarche de recherche et pour certains de ses arguments. Il fait partie des Freud Wars, une controverse en cours à propos de la psychanalyse. (fr)
